About Laura
I Know How Overwhelming The Job Search Feels...
After working in recruiting and HR for 17 years, where I reviewed thousands of resumes and interviewed hundreds of candidates, I stepped away from my career to focus on raising my son.
When I looked to return, I knew I didn’t want to go back to HR, but I wasn’t sure what the heck it is I did want. So, I broke my own cardinal rule and started randomly applying to positions.
After receiving yet another rejection, and eating way too many pints of pity ice cream, I knew I had to change my approach. I took everything I learned over my career and came up with a strategic game plan.
THE RESULTS?
Multiple job offers in different fields.
A role that aligned with where I was as a parent.
Renewed sense of fulfillment and purpose.
After 5 years, I once again decided to pivot and work with women just like you who are skilled, talented, and experienced but feel stuck on how to translate their value into the paid workforce.
Returning to work after a career break can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and seem as though it’s based on luck, but trust me, it doesn’t have to be that way!
I’m here to take the guesswork out of your job search and provide you with a clear, strategic roadmap to get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Laura
Career Relaunch Coach
After working in HR and recruiting for 17 years, I took a career break to focus on raising my son. I felt many of the same thoughts and emotions women experience when making this life-changing decision. And when I looked to return, I experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to re-enter the paid workforce, especially when many employers still hold the antiquated view that career breaks are a liability.
Today, I help job seekers returning from a career break gain clarity and confidence so they can land more job offers and higher salaries. I created the Career Relaunch Blueprint, an in-person workshop for career returners, and I’m a contributor to Business Insider. I’ve also been a guest on multiple podcasts and am a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches (PARWCC), ensuring I stay current on the latest job search insights for my clients.
My goal is simple: to help you see the unique, valuable skills and experiences only you can bring to the hiring table.
