Helping you make your best next career move.

Ethical, powerful nonprofit job search strategy.

Words Change Lives helps you prosper in nonprofit with proven job search strategies.

  • If you’re unemployed, I’ll help you choose, apply to, and win a meaningful role at the right organization for you.
  • If you want a better job, I’ll help you design a winning strategy and move up or move on from your current role.
  • If you want a change, I specialize in positioning my clients for successful transitions to nonprofit or private work.

My professionally written career documents help you stand out no matter how tough the job market gets. My clients supercharge their prospects with a new resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. Recently, one client was told by three different organizations that her cover letter (the only document I wrote on her behalf) was a deciding factor in offering her an interview.

But that’s only the start.

Today, looking for a job is a full-time job. It’s complicated, stressful, and dehumanizing.

I’m here to provide the clarity, confidence, and compassionate advice to help you get the job you really want.

  • Clarity: I’ll help you prioritize your “heart-goals” and discover your best next step.
  • Confidence: I help you step into your power and become your own best advocate.
  • Compassion: Like you, I work to make the world better—starting with YOUR world.

For more than ten years, I’ve helped thousands of clients find jobs everywhere from the corner office to the corner store. In 2023, after a period of homelessness, I discovered a need for my skills at nonprofits. I’ll help you embrace your best career self and discover the power that comes from authenticity. That’s my promise to you as one mission-driven professional to another.
