About
It's all about you! I want to understand what you are looking for and be your partner to get you there. I utilized a collaborative and consultative resume coaching approach where we build the resume together through a career coaching experience. Through our conversations, I better understand the value you can bring to an organization and role to best present you. I don’t believe in just filling out a questionnaire and then sending you something back. By working together, we can set you up for most success. My personal, professional experience is both in business (specifically healthcare and IT) and education. I worked at an innovative healthcare IT solution company and more recently at an opioid epidemic solution company. Prior, I ran a non-profit and was a teacher. With a diverse career experience myself, I know the challenge presented when you want to change directions, make a small pivot, or get that next promotion. I have my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Vanderbilt University where I had the opportunity to gain exposure to multiple industries, job types, and businesses. My graduate degree in Leadership and Organizational Performance is where much of resume insights and approach began. I have coached and quantified accomplishments for individuals from executives to those looking for their first internship. It can be challenging to take the projects you have worked on and have them tell the story for your next position. I will work with you to learn about you and what you have done, so we can create the best presentation of your success. The main goal is to uncover what makes you successful! I love to work with people, learn about them/from them, and help make each other better!

I am so thankful for finding Samara!! She was incredibly easy to work with and did a fantastic job writing my resume. As a stay-at-home mom rejoining the workforce after several years, I was very anxious about putting together a sufficient resume that would highlight my professional skills from college and jobs. Samara alleviated all of my doubts by creating a stunning, professional resume. Samara truly cares about enabling you for career success, and her expertise in the job market makes her a valuable resource for helping make that happen.

Samara is the consummate Professional! She is amazing to work with. Our collaboration was both fun and productive. In two hours she revised my resume and then took another day to clean it up. She charged less and did more than the last three so called professionals. Hire her!!

She was excellent. Totally revamped my resume, listened week to what I wanted to accomplish and made sure I was equipped to do it. Very professional, great personality, best money I've spent all year and worth every penny.

Samara was amazing to work with. I literally started from scratch. I had transitioned from being a business owner to employee over 20 years ago through acquisitions. Based on this, a resume was never requested or needed. Samara proved to be a great listener and was very detailed. She literally translated my story to a rough draft and then the final draft in a few calls. She made the process very easy and comfortable. Great to work with - punctual, patient, professional & at a very reasonable cost. Very happy I chose her services for my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn makeover. Needless to say, I highly recommend her services.
