Resume and LinkedIn Profile Writer

About Me

I am a personal branding consultant focused on helping people define who they are in the workplace, differentiate themselves from others in their field and position themselves to their targeted audience. My branding services include writing resumes and LinkedIn profiles across a wide range of fields including corporate, banking, legal, retail, consulting and non-profit. I am adept at and enjoy helping foreign nationals convert their resumes to an American style.

My approach is based on sound classic & social media marketing principles gained from 25+ years of experience in marketing financial services for Citibank and MasterCard, consulting for American Express and managing social media for various professional associations.

As a Vice President at Citibank I recruited talented MBAs from top business schools and participated in hiring mid-level to senior executives. I think I reviewed about 1000 resumes during my career.
