I work with mid-level corporate and tech professionals who feel stuck, overlooked, or uncertain about their next move. Many of my clients are navigating layoffs, rebuilding confidence, or stepping into a new chapter of their career—and they need honest guidance, strategy, and a career strategist who understands both recruiting and the realities of today’s job market. Based in the DMV, serving mid-career professionals and veterans nationwide.

I also support transitioning veterans who are entering the civilian workforce and want someone who truly understands military-to-corporate translation, positioning, and the emotional side of the transition.

If you’re motivated, coachable, and ready to grow—but need clarity, direction, and a grounded partner to walk with you through it—this space was created for you.

Who I Serve. I work with Two Groups of People:

✔“I know how hiring managers think — because I was one of the people making the decisions.”

MID-CAREER PROFESSIONALS

You've been working 7+ years. You know your stuff.

But you got laid off — or you're stuck in a job search that's going nowhere.

You're applying to hundreds of jobs. Getting ghosted. Wondering if anyone sees your value.

You need more than resume tips. You need strategy. You need someone who's been there.

If that's you — we should talk.

WHO THIS ISN'T FOR

I'm thoughtful about who I work with.

We're probably not a fit if:

- You want someone to "only fix your resume" without strategic coaching

- Federal resumes (USAJobs) require specialized formatting and ECQ/KSA writing- that's completely different from corporate resumes. Unfortunately, this is not my specialty; however, if you already have your federal resume and need interview coaching or want to transition out of the federal government, I can help with that.

READY TO SEE IF WE'RE A FIT?

No pressure. Just clarity on whether this is right for you.

Identify Your Current Career Station

"You’ve spent years building everyone else’s vision. It’s time to build yours."

🌉Suddenly in Transition?

🪜Ready to Level Up?

You’re doing the work, but the market doesn’t see you. Your infrastructure (Resume/LinkedIn) is failing the "6-second" recruiter test.

You’re a high-performer who has hit the limit of "hard work." You don't need more tasks; you need a strategy to break into the next salary bracket.

🧭Pivoting with Purpose?

You have the expertise, but you're in the wrong sector. You need to translate your value so you can pivot without taking a pay cut.

"Recognizing your station is the first step. Take the 2-minute quiz to find out which station you're in and get your action plan."

The Fix: Exit the Invisible Station

The Fix: Break The Ceiling

The Fix: Begin the Pivot

The Nehemiah Path: Your Blueprint for the Ascent

"A three-stage strategic framework designed to move you from professional invisibility to market-dominant authority."

The Crossing

Infrastructure & Visibility We stop the "Black Hole" cycle. By optimizing your Resume and LinkedIn for both AI/ATS and the human recruiter’s "6-second" psychology, we ensure you are seen, ranked, and recruited.

The Ascent

Authority & Negotiation Getting the interview is only half the battle. We build your "Leadership Presence" and script your negotiation strategy so you aren't just taking an offer—you’re commanding your true market value.

The Strategic Pivot We translate your past technical expertise into the language of your future role, ensuring your pivot is seen as a promotion, not a step backward.

The Redirection

📍"I didn't just build this path for my clients; I built it to survive. After 15 years in Fortune 500 talent acquisition, I used these exact pillars to rebuild my career in four months after a sudden layoff. Today, I use that same data-driven strategy to help high-performers secure 15–25% salary increases and bypass the 'Black Hole' of automated hiring systems."

After 20+ years as a Fortune 500 recruiter, I know what gets you hired—because I made those decisions. I've hired 500+ professionals across defense, aerospace, tech, and cybersecurity at companies like Raytheon, Nightwing, and Triple Canopy.

I know the roles, the hiring managers, the jargon, the interview traps, and the real reasons strong candidates are overlooked.

I founded Nehemiah's Ladder because climbing shouldn't mean scraping by—it's about rising with strategy, heart, and dedicated support.

If you were impacted by layoffs, AI restructures, or budget cuts — I’ve walked with thousands of professionals right where you are. I help you translate your skills, rewrite your narrative, and get back in the room with clarity and confidence.

Now I help mid-career professionals and veterans land offers with 20-40% salary increases.

You're not getting theory. You're getting what actually works.

"It hurt.
But I refused to stay under.
I rebuilt who I was.
I had to refocus.
I shed every label that didn’t belong.
And I chose faith, discipline and the blueprint that became Nehemiah's Ladder."

"I was laid off April 2025. By August, I built this."

Data-backed ROI statistics and case studies

Tech professionals with career coaching see 40-60% higher promotion rates and get promoted an average of six months faster than those without, accelerating career trajectories in competitive fields like engineering and software development.

Coached professionals are 5x more likely to get promotions and salary increases: In a Sun Microsystems case study (IT/tech-focused), individuals with career coaching were five times more likely to advance and secure raises compared to non-coached peers—translating to faster career acceleration in competitive engineering roles.
