I'm Melanie, and I help professionals over 40 reinvent their careers after layoff.

Welcome!

After 20+ years in corporate HR and talent acquisition, I've seen firsthand how experienced professionals often struggle to navigate today's job market. The rules have changed, but your value hasn't.

I created this coaching practice to help professionals like you leverage your experience, update your approach, and land roles that match your expertise and ambitions.

I've Been Where You Are

With over two decades in HR, talent acquisition, and career development at Fortune 500 companies, I understand both sides of the hiring equation. I know what hiring managers look for, how ATS systems work, and what makes a candidate stand out.

But more importantly, I've experienced career transition myself. I know the emotions, the frustration, the self-doubt, the uncertainty. That's why my approach combines practical strategy with genuine support.

Being over 40 isn't a disadvantage, it's your superpower. You bring decades of experience, leadership skills, and professional wisdom that younger candidates simply don't have.

Let's make sure your next employer sees that.
