Career Coaching

WORK WITH A QUEER PEER

Your career should work for your actual life, and the strategy to get there should account for what makes your situation specific: your identity, your timeline, your needs, your definition of success. Let’s build something that honors who you are and what you need.

Business Colleagues

GREAT FOR LGBTQ+ PROFESSIONALS AND ALLIES WHO WANT TO:

Build a network strategically and sustainably, without it feeling extractive

Learn practical skills and frameworks they can apply long after our work together

Evaluate work opportunities through the lens of what they actually need

Plan career transitions that account for both personal and professional priorities

Highlight career growth, accomplishments, and impact in their application materials

Have meaningful conversations about career goals with peers, managers, and loved ones

GETTING STARTED

Every engagement starts with a free consultation: a chance to talk through what you’re working on and see if we’re a good fit. I’d love to hear your story.

MY STYLE & APPROACH

A lot of career advice treats everyone the same. I help LGBTQ+ professionals and allies build strategies that actually work for their lives by starting with what they need.


I bring calm to the chaos of career transitions, ask the questions that surface what’s actually going on, and help you find the throughlines in your experience. I believe most career decisions are better made from a grounded place than a reactive one, and a lot of what I do is help you slow down enough to choose well.


I was born and raised in a community with pervasive homophobia, so I recognize that every step forward is a conscious one. And that often means figuring out how to take risks in pursuit of better opportunities. Whenever you feel stuck, I see it as a chance to center your needs. You know yourself better than you think you do.

WHAT I BRING:

  • I understand how hiring works. I’m a former recruiting professional who’s reviewed resumes, worked with candidates, and implemented hiring practices at different companies.

  • I know how to vet employers and identify red flags. I’ve helped 20+ organizations establish inclusive workplace practices and can help you figure out what to look for.

  • I know how to chart a course. I have nearly a decade of strategic planning experience to help people identify goals and build action plans.

  • I bring frameworks you can use long after our work ends. I'll help you adopt tools and ways of thinking you’ll be able to flex again the next time something shifts.

  • My career has been nonlinear. I’ve made some major pivots and can speak from inside the experience of building something different.

Testimonials

Working with Alex was truly a turning point for me. Through our journey together, they helped me see that I get to define my own work criteria—from seeking neurodivergent-friendly environments to naming my ideal manager and team. After years of feeling stuck and deeply unhappy in roles that didn’t align with my values, this reframing was a game-changer. Alex brings an incredible depth of presence and care to their coaching, which made it feel safe to open up about my real hopes and dreams. Because of their guidance, I now approach career opportunities with discernment and confidence rather than urgency or fear. As a first-generation femme of color navigating an uncertain job market, that shift has been profoundly empowering.
