About Jacqueline

I am a Certified Professional Résumé Writer, Job & Career Transition Coach, and Job & Career Development Coach. While I have assisted people from all types of professional backgrounds and industries, my true mission is serving those who’ve served us; transitioning service members, veterans, and their families.

I administer professional assessments and provide career advice to help clients explore employment opportunities, while also teaching them to tailor their résumés and interview responses to truly highlight their skills and qualifications. In addition to one-on-one assistance, I teach employment workshops and speak on various panels throughout the community about the benefits and importance of hiring veterans.

I am dedicated, hard-working, and passionate about what I do.

I’m currently interested in expanding my portfolio to include anything that helps our service members transition into the civilian world smoothly.
