I walked into my first session overwhelmed and walked out with a plan. Melissa helped me see that my 6 years of teaching wasn't a setback, it was a head start. She's direct, warm, and genuinely gets it. One conversation changed everything.

I worked with Melissa twice now. The first time was to go over my application for the PMP and the second was my resume. Melissa is incredibly helpful and easy to work with. I'm happy to say my PMP application was accepted. I highly recommend working with Melissa for some guidance!

So far, I've had two calls with Melissa, one for PMP application assistance and most recently for resume review. Her insight into framing my teaching experience as PM experience was critical to my application being approved. As a result, I am now able to sit for the PMP 1.5 years earlier than I originally planned. Her resume review service is financially accessible and incredibly useful for getting another set of eyes to provide you with tips/suggestions to update your resume.

Melissa has been an amazing mentor! She was insightful and used her experience as a teacher turned project manager to help me. Her ebook started my transition in October 2023. Then I scheduled calls with Melissa after completing the Google Coursera program to review my PMP application, resume and LinkedIn profile. My PMP application was accepted! She also connected me with other PM's to help make a PMP study plan. Melissa has been a cheerleader, giving me the confidence that I can make this transition! Thank you Melissa!

I had a fantastic experience with the online Resume Review session! Melissa was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout. She went above and beyond to accommodate my time zone—despite the 11-hour difference—which I really appreciated. Her insights were clear and actionable, and I left the session feeling more confident about my CV and areas to develop for improvement. Highly recommended!

I recently had a PMP Application Review session with Melissa, and it was incredibly valuable. I found the 30 minutes to be time well spent. Melissa's insights were spot-on, and she helped me clearly connect the various project phases to the overall objective and desired outcomes in a way I hadn't considered before. This clarity will be immensely helpful as I finalize my application. I highly recommend Melissa's services to anyone looking for guidance and support with their PMP application.

Melissa is incredibly knowledgable and friendly which is such a great combination when helping others pivot their careers! My time with her was spent reviewing my PMP application (that I hadn't even realized I actually qualified for!) and she did not disappoint. She was able to give me loads of constructive and actionable feedback and asked me some really great questions to get me thinking. I can't wait to update once I start studying for the PMP!!

Melissa is the real deal... I've had the pleasure of connecting with her on LinkedIn about 6 months ago. In that time, I've seen her showcase kindness, expertise, and authenticity. She is responsive and supportive. Fast forward to me booking a call with Melissa: I provided Melissa content and requested that she review it prior to the call. She came prepared, supportive, and with notes / suggestions. I was provided a safe environment, free of judgement, to ask questions and spitball ideas. Melissa tailors her approach to each individual and I really felt like I got the most of my 30 min because of her knowledge, tailored approach, and how prepared she was for our meeting. If I could give 12 stars, I would! 12/10 recommend!

About me

Hi! I'm a Project Manager and former teacher. If you are a transitioning teacher or career pivoter, I've been in your shoes! Before I was a middle school teacher, I worked in non-profits. I was a program manager, hiring and supervising over 100 staff, and also spent a few years in Guatemala as a country director for an international NGO. It was in these roles (and others) that I gained experience as a hiring manager. Today, I share my career pivot journey and how I successfully transitioned out of the classroom into project management to help others take the steps to transform their careers and lives. I didn't set out to become a coach or consultant. I simply started sharing my own journey out of education. During my own trek towards the PMP, I found there weren't a lot of resources for "non-traditional" project managers, and I wanted to change that. I wrote an ebook/guide to help anyone applying for the PMP. This guide has helped many people successfully apply and get accepted to take the PMP! I want to help anyone ready to dive in and make changes to their work and career. Let's figure out a plan and get you moving forward! If you can't find a time that works on this schedule, feel free to contact me and we can try to work out another time! I can't wait to talk to you!
