About Me

"Success Doesn't Happen by Accident"

   ​I started Accelerated Career Enhancement Services to help friends and family find jobs during the Great Recession.​

​   Over the past 14 years, ​I have helped thousands of professionals in just about every field imaginable: oil field workers to engineers on the space program, recent college graduates to senior executives. I specialize in helping military veterans transition into the civilian workforce and helping men and women re-enter the workforce after time spent as full-time caretakers for children and parents. Each has a unique story, and I enjoy helping them tell it.​

   I work hard to offer the best resume writing and career coaching service on the California Central Coast. I strive to stay abreast of the employment environment in the region, as well as the latest trends and technologies in recruitment. There is a good reason that I am the resume writer that recruiters and HR professionals in Santa Barbara most often recommend.
