“I wouldn’t be where I am today without job coaching, and the ability for me to make an impact on others in their job search is very exciting. It’s the perfect side gig, and I am thrilled to be taking it on!”

"We tend to ignore the tech sector's devastating impact on income disparity. I'm so proud to be a part of a team of coaches that is turning the hiring model upside down. We know that companies that hire for diversity thrive because they are built to serve a diverse world. It's truly fulfilling to witness the transformation of individuals, who feel locked out of these opportunities, gain the skills and confidence to thrive in tech. We're on a mission to not only change the lives of individuals but to challenge our hiring culture to look past bias and see the workforce of the future."
