About

* Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Input ~ Woo ~ Communication ~ Positivity ~ Responsibility *Connecting people to opportunities and empowering them to grow professionally is at the heart of everything I do. With over 15 years of experience across marketing, advertising, digital PR, and training, the journey has been about blending creativity with education to make a meaningful impact.My early career years in Chicago included managing campaigns for clients like McDonald’s, Kellogg’s, PetSmart, and Nokia. Projects spanned sales materials, digital strategies, videos, and events, with additional roles as a Creative & Marketing Recruiter and Adjunct Instructor at Loyola University Chicago, where a passion for guiding others was ignited.In 2014, the transition to Career Services in Higher Education opened new doors to continue teaching undergraduate students, create impactful training programs and collaborate with start-ups. Now, as Senior Training & Development Coordinator at UT Austin’s Planning, Design, and Construction group, the focus is on designing learning paths, fostering partnerships, and ensuring employees thrive in their roles.Café Con Resume brought these experiences full circle by helping professionals refine resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and job search strategies, blending insights from both recruiting and job-seeking perspectives.Committed to building connections, empowering growth, and creating opportunities that last, the work is always guided by a desire to leave a lasting, positive impact.
