Hi, I’m Jill!
My MISSION?
To Empower women and men to transform their vision into dream careers and live life on their own terms.
I help professionals to spark their climbs so that they can create careers that fire them up. I know that your career is personal. This is personal.
My why?
Simple... it's you.
Years of counseling professionals feeling stuck and purposeless in their jobs, and looking to pivot in their careers led me to carve my own path as a career coach and consultant. I believe in empowering women and men by helping them to hone their strengths, land the dream job, and earn more (yup, a lot more). My years of experience, schooling, and training about how to climb the corporate ladder make me a force within the industry, and I'm only getting louder. I work with clients to ignite their career path and set the corporate ladder ablaze.
Let’s light that b*tch on fire.
