The person behind Resumeology

I’ve been on the hiring side.
Now I’m on yours.

A strong career doesn’t always come with a strong resume. That’s where I come in.

Before founding Resumeology, I spent a decade recruiting for companies including Goldman Sachs, ADP, Kirkland & Ellis, Investopedia and The Daily Beast.

I reviewed resumes, spoke with candidates and worked with hiring managers. I saw how easily someone’s experience could get lost behind vague descriptions, crowded pages and accomplishments they hadn’t thought to mention.

In 2017, I founded Resumeology. Since then, I’ve worked directly with more than 3,000 clients, helping them communicate their experience and approach their next career move with a clearer story.

When you work with Resumeology, you work with me. I personally write your materials. No outsourcing, ever.

Off the clock

A little beyond the resume.

Because there’s a person behind the person asking about your accomplishments.

My favorite people

Family Time

Outside of Resumeology, time with my family is a big part of my life.

There’s more to life than the next career move.

A little reset

A Pilates Break

One of my favorite ways to spend an hour? Fitting in a Pilates class.

A different kind of work in progress.

Where my story started

Fordham Roots

I’m a Fordham University graduate. It’s part of my own career story.

Everyone has a starting point. That’s part of mine.

Career stories are personal. Mine is, too.

My approach

The strongest details
aren’t always on your resume.

Often, they come out in the questions: How big was the team? What changed because of your work? What did people rely on you for? That’s where I start.

I Ask Better Questions

You may see a project as part of your everyday job. I look for the decisions, challenges and contributions that show what you bring to an employer. You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out.

I Make the Evidence Clear

I bring your scope, accomplishments and expertise into focus. We use accurate numbers where they’re available and concrete examples where they’re more meaningful—so the writing has substance behind it.

I Write With Direction

Your career materials should reflect where you want to go next. I prioritize the experience that matters for your target roles and organize it into a story a recruiter can follow.

You bring the experience.
I help employers see its value.
