Career & Academic Services

A New Day 4 you can also mean finding your dream job and/or purpose in life.   Do you find yourself in a situation where you feel stuck in a rut, or feel you’re lacking purpose or goals in your life?  I have helped many individuals over the years to discover their talents, interests, and abilities to fulfill rewarding careers, academic pursuits and purpose in life.

  • Resume coaching that includes guidance, brainstorming, coaching and ongoing review
