WHO THIS IS FOR

For those who don't want to start over, guess wrong, or waste time.

The one who has applied for everything

You're not hearing back after hundreds of applications. Even tailoring your resume isn't working.

The career changer with a non-linear background

You don't know how to translate what you've done into what employers want to see.

The overwhelmed grad school candidate

The one who is too paralyzed to start

You convince yourself your current job "isn't that bad" while doomscrolling job postings - but never applying.

The quant or STEM candidate who can't get through

You have potential and the grades or experience to back it up - but no one will give you a chance.

The one who is told they are "not trying hard enough"

You're not sure what admissions committees are looking for, or how competitive your profile actually is.

You're trying your best in a highly competitive market with outdated advice from well meaning friends and family... and feeling guilty when you're not applying.

WHO I AM

NF2A7063 (1).jpg

I'm Ash.

I've been on the other side of the table.

I've spent 13 years working with hundreds of recruiters, hiring managers, and admissions committees to learn why some people get in and others get left behind.​​​

As Associate Director of Career Services at Carnegie Mellon University's MSCF program, ranked #3 for Financial Engineering in the U.S., I made sure our students were placed for their internships, received offers shortly after graduation, and reviewed candidates as a member of their Admissions Committee. I even worked with College of Engineering graduate students across 16 programs.

Where Past Students Now Work...

Proudly Neurodivergent: I have AuDHD, a TBI, and I'm a former therapist - allowing me to bring lived and professional experience to my work well with neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled professionals, as well as burned out clinicians.​
