What My Clients Have to Say

I was able to land a dream job in a field that… happens to be the perfect match for me.

I started coaching & career counseling at a time where I was second guessing myself a lot. Through working with Kate I gained confidence in my path and was able to narrow down a career path that aligned with my values at this moment in my life. Her sessions reassured me that I have the knowledge and power inside of me. It’s a matter of asking the right questions and being honest with yourself which she helps draw out of you. After working with Kate I was able to land a dream job in a field that I often overlooked yet happens to be the perfect match for me. Thank you Kate!

Kate turns resume writing into an art form. Through a single conversation of incisive questions and empathic listening, Kate was able to reshape my resume into the story of my passions and professions. Her attention to detail is as discerning as any storyteller. I am so grateful for my time with Kate. [The Caffeinated Career] is a gift.

Kate will help you propel your voice to the next level in a way any audience can enjoy.

Kate is FANTASTIC…Kate will help you propel your voice to the next level in a way any audience can enjoy. Her professionalism, experience, expertise is of course a given bonus. But who she is as not only an editor/proofreader/coach but who she is as a human being is what differentiates her from others. She will take the time to find out what you really want to say, advise you on how to say it, and even understand WHY you should say it. She worked wonders with me and my work, and I am proud of the end result. Thank you Kate!

Kate has the rare ability to make ordinary and mundane details sound extraordinary…​

I hired Kate to write executive bios for a handful of people in my company, and I could not be happier that I did. Kate has the rare ability to make ordinary and mundane details sound extraordinary as she captivates readers from beginning to end. She was able to data mine all of the information she needed to craft the perfect bios from some short writing samples and quick phone interviews. I plan to use Kate again.
