About me

I’m a certified, results-driven career coach with a passion for helping people—from graduate students to senior executives—navigate career transitions, unlock potential, and pursue work that matters. Whether you're shifting industries, stepping into leadership, or returning to the workforce, I’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

 

As a former Partner at a nationally respected executive career firm, I was honored to be recognized by our CEO as one of the top three executive coaches in the country. I’ve coached professionals in nearly every industry—from Big Tech and consulting to law, nonprofits, higher education, and startups.

 

Before coaching, I led global HR at a major international law firm, overseeing recruiting, professional development, and performance management. That experience sharpened my instincts for high-stakes decision-making and taught me how hiring really works—especially at the senior level.

 

I love this work. I love the people. And I thrive on helping clients find clarity, confidence, and momentum in their careers.

Welcome to Flat Rock Careers!

My clients

At Flat Rock Careers, I work with people from all walks of professional life—whether they’re navigating unexpected change, seeking new direction, or chasing long-held aspirations. My clients include:

  • Professionals considering a mid-career change—shifting roles, industries, or both

  • High performers ready to take on more challenging, fulfilling, or better-paying work

  • Talented individuals who like what they do but need a better culture or company

  • Recently laid-off or terminated professionals who want to regain momentum and confidence

  • Business rock stars who’ve benefited from a buyout or exit and are now ready to rebrand and write their next chapter

  • Graduate students preparing to enter (or re-enter) the workforce with clarity and purpose

  • Military Veterans transitioning to civilian careers and seeking guidance on where their strengths translate

  • Mission-driven professionals seeking more meaningful, values-aligned work—or perhaps their dream job

Let’s add your name to my list of Satisfied and Happy Clients. 

No matter where you’re starting, I’ll help you focus, get unstuck, and move forward—toward a career that energizes you and reflects who you are.

My Approach

No two clients are alike—so neither is my coaching. Every engagement begins with understanding you: your goals, values, strengths, challenges, drivers and where you want to go next. Together, we build a clear, customized plan that aligns your career vision with real-world market conditions.

From there, we develop high-impact materials that tell your story with clarity, confidence, and professionalism—your resume, cover letters, and LinkedIn profile—all strategically designed to attract the right attention. These tools must perform double duty: cutting through applicant tracking systems (ATS) and databases, while also resonating with real people—recruiters, hiring managers, and key decision-makers in your network.

But here’s where things really shift:
I help clients tap into the hidden job market—roles that are never posted publicly but discovered through relationships and strategic outreach. With the right guidance, conversations can lead to opportunities you never saw coming. Many of my clients land ideal roles simply by talking to the right people, the right way.

Using my extensive network, enthusiasm, and forward-thinking perspective, I help clients, clarify direction, build confidence and develop the mindset and tools they need to take ownership of their careers. Whether your journey is a sprint or a marathon, I’ll be with you every step—until you reach your next milestone.

Background

MNTesla3.png

Before launching Flat Rock Careers, I joined the Hult Business School in Cambridge as an MBA Career Advisor guiding international students as they seek to have their dreams come true, and work in America.  I also served as a Partner at a boutique career consulting firm, where I coached professionals at every level—across industries, functions, and organizational hierarchies—through pivotal career transitions.

Earlier in my career, I led Human Resources for an international law firm headquartered in Boston. As Head of HR, I focused on performance, leadership development, and executive coaching, working closely with attorneys and senior leaders to help them succeed at the highest levels.

Prior to that, I spent over a decade as a corporate trainer for what was then the world’s second-largest computer company. I began my professional journey teaching business to high school students, including young adults with special needs—an experience that continues to shape my empathy-driven coaching approach.

I hold a B.S. in Business Education (with Honors) from Salem State University and have earned advanced coaching certifications from Career Partners International. I’m a certified Master Career Consultant and Retirement Options Coach, committed to helping individuals find clarity, confidence, and meaningful direction at every career stage.
