Esteemed Career Coach.

Dedicated to you.

Based in Rochester NY, Mary brings 25+ years of coaching, business education, and human resource expertise to each conversation. Leaning into her Masters in Business Education and Board Certified Coaching License (ICF-global), she draws upon a range of academic and practical experiences to support her clients and organizations.

As a Career Coach, she has partnered with 3,000+ clients, all ages, and together navigated the swiftly changing world of work.

98% of her clients (with 6+ appts.) achieved positive career outcomes last year.

Clients often ask, What is your focus?

I help clients confidently answer the question: “Why should I hire you?” framed in authenticity and impact. Through tailored strategy and personalized insight, I guide you to stand out and achieve your career goals.

Our work combines meaningful conversations, and proven assessments, to uncover what makes you compelling. Think of it as a coach in your corner—refining your materials, sharpening your strategy, and elevating your responses to win interviews and offers.

We use AI as a complimentary tool when appropriate to help clients cut through the noise, move forward more efficiently, and to adapt to the changing application process and world of work.

Here’s what I don’t use AI for:
👉 Real human feedback
Because at the end of the day, humans hire humans.

Experienced Career Coaches have a positive and transformational impact on one’s job search and success. Even the most accomplished professionals can undersell themselves, miss key aspects of their leadership impact, or simply not recognize what makes them stand out. Shining a light on one’s blind spots and then articulating them clearly, changes the game.

In a rapidly changing job market shaped by uncertainty, preparation is everything. Partnering with an experienced coach ensures you’re ready when the right opportunity appears.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, story, and hopes for the future. Know that I am here cheering for you! #blueskiesahead

When she is not coaching, you may find her running, cheering for athletic teams, or spending time with family and friends.
