Your job search needs more than AI
Yes, I use AI too, and so does every smart professional. Staying current with technology is how you stay competitive. But when everyone uses the same tool, everyone sounds the same, and in a competitive market, that works against you.
AI can write you a generic resume in seconds. It cannot tell you why you keep getting rejected, knows the unwritten rules or spot that your overseas experience is getting lost in translation.
It cannot show up for you on the hard days, keep you accountable, or remind you how far you have come.
Job searching is a confidence game, a test of patience, and a full-time effort, all at once.
AI works best when combined with human knowledge, not used alone. That is the difference between a tool and a coach. And that is what I offer.

Nothing generic. Everything built around your background and your goals.
Why work with me
Most career coaches will give you a framework. But YOU need someone who has lived the exact same journey.
I moved from Switzerland, navigated the Australian job market from scratch, and rebuilt my career in a new country.
With a decade of HR and recruitment experience across internationally renowned organisations, including roles with the Olympics, I have spent years on both sides of the hiring table, as a recruiter and as a professional who has made bold moves herself.
I understand the real differences in workplace culture, hiring expectations, and career norms that many internationals find themselves unprepared for. And I coach in both English and French.
I am bold, direct, and I do not sugarcoat. Real progress comes from honest conversations, not comfortable ones. I will tell you the truth, challenge you when needed, and back you every step of the way.
My own path has never been typical – and that is precisely why I understand YOURS. Curious to know if I am the right coach for you? Head over to the About page.
