About Us The Career Assessment Goddess unveiled... As you can see, the Assessment Goddess is a real person. Dubbed this by my professional career counseling and career coaching colleagues and clients, I decided to outrageously own it. So, if I seem a bit spunky at times... well, I'm a goddess (it comes with the territory). Career and industry transition isn't easy - I know. Having gone through 5 career changes myself (BEFORE I became a professional career counselor), I know how important it is to get a clarity about future dreams and goals, nail a career focus, and then go after it with commitment and courage! My Fish Story You see, my first professional career was in limnology - the study of freshwater fish. This would have been fine except that I'm an extreme extrovert and working alone with fish was NOT a good match! In case you wondered, fish are not scintillating conversationalists...
I accidentally discovered that helping others enrich their lives by identifying and securing jobs they could love was my "dream job". My first step on the journey to realizing that dream was attaining a Master's Degree in Counseling from The Johns Hopkins University. Since then I have pursued and obtained the most elite credentials in the careers industry (listed below), so that my clients could have the best, cutting-edge tools for career transformation.
Specialty Services My love of learning combined with a future-focus orientation shows up in the specialty services I offer: distance career counseling and telecoaching, career coaching, personal branding, online identity management, executive coaching, career assessments, leadership development, resumes, branded communications, web portfolios, blog development, corporate training, and outplacement.
