She is so friendly, yet honest. She is passionate about helping people find their dream jobs and was determined to help me reach all my career goals.

- LYNN B. / PRODUCT MANAGER
"As I was nearing the end of my degree program, I knew I wanted to steer myself down a new career path that focused on my strengths AND my needs. I was looking for a career coach for the last year but just didn’t find one that I really clicked with - until I found Laurisa through Instagram. And boy, I am so glad I did! The initial meeting we had was so informative and described the goals I had for myself exactly. During the entire workshop, Laurisa was always in touch, providing top notch feedback and going the extra mile for my numerous questions. I’m in a new position where I can look for a job that really fits and Laurisa has given me the confidence to examine what would truly be a good fit instead of just chasing the money or the quickest offer. All in all, I cannot endorse her workshop enough and am so grateful for the knowledge and skills I have gained."

- CASEY O. / MARKETING DIRECTOR
"Laurisa has been an amazing asset in guiding my nearly decade-long career in design. She was instrumental in helping me both adapt skills from my military career and previous professions and communicate those skills to employers. Her advice on resume building, interviewing, and salary negotiating was extremely valuable. In addition to helping me into the discipline I love, she guided me on how to progress and situate myself for advancement. Over the years, I’ve referred multiple people to Laurisa, and can’t recommend her enough. I am extremely thankful for her help, and she’s been a model for how I how I give advice and mentor others."

"Laurisa is a fast friend and even better career coach. She's patient, encouraging, and insightful; she helped me figure out the all-important question "what do I even want to do with my career?" With her guidance, I got out of a rut and found new career paths to explore—and in the meantime, she gave me tools to concretely demonstrate to my boss why I deserve a raise. I'm so appreciative of Laurisa and would recommend her to anyone needing a nudge in the right direction."

- CAILIN S. / OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
"It was great working with Laurisa. She was cheerful and listened to my story. She gave me helpful advice in areas where I had difficulty thinking of how to explain to recruiters on my own. She followed up with me after our session and gave a thorough summary of next steps. I enjoyed working with Laurisa and recommend her for anyone who needs help with a career change or how to talk about difficult career events with future recruiters."
- ADAM T. / INTERNAL AUDIT CONSULTANT
"I have been working with Laurisa for a few months, at different stages in my career search. When I first started entertaining the idea of looking for a new career, she was very encouraging and made the process seem a lot less daunting. I utilized one of her workshops while in the process of networking/searching and found the tips she gave to be very helpful. Once I was hired, she helped me update my LinkedIn profile. It was an easy process and Laurisa was fun to work with. I would absolutely work with her again."
KENDRA F. / ACCOUNT MANAGER
"Laurisa was recommended by a friend to help me revamp my resume after being laid off from a job I worked at for 11 years. Working with Laurisa was extremely easy and there was a very quick turn around so I could get right into my job search and get my head back in the game!!"

PLACES MY CLIENTS WORK
"I’d been in a career rut for a while when a post about the Career Change Workshop popped up in my Instagram feed. I took it as a sign and immediately enrolled. From the very first email I received from Laurisa, I knew I’d made the right choice. Throughout the workshop, she shared her own experiences, which made her relatable and showed she has the skills and knowledge to back up her suggestions. Even though the workshop ended, Laurisa still checks in to see how I’m doing. She took the time to help me figure out what I should be doing and how to get there. I’d recommend Laurisa to anyone I know who’s contemplating a career change because she genuinely cares about her clients and does everything she can to help them succeed."
- AMANDA J. / COPYWRITER
"Laurisa coached me through a difficult career transition from an Army officer to a civilian operations role. When I started working with Laurisa I didn’t know how to translate my skill set or goals into suitable civilian roles. She worked with me to narrow my job search and completely rewrite my resume, always answering my long winded emails promptly with advice that I still find valuable several years later. Through her help I found a role in the city and field I wanted, which has since formed the basis of my new career. Nowadays I have a senior position in a very large and well known company and I still use the techniques she taught me when assessing and applying to new positions. Talk to Laurisa if you’re making a major career change or if you think your resume and application strategy isn’t representing your best self."
- DAVID A. / FINANCE LEAD
"Laurisa was spot on! I was in a moment in my life where I was completely changing the course of my career, and she knew right away the correct points to a successful resume. I got the job and happy to say almost 6 years later, I am the Chief Concierge of 1 Hotel Central Park in New York City. I run a team of four top Concierge's for a high elite boutique Hotel, I am a member of the Les Clefs d'or and New York City Concierge Association. I highly recommend working with Laurisa!!"
- BRIANA G. / CHIEF CONCIERGE
"Laurisa helped me land my first job with literally NO experience! A year later, she coached me through a tough job transition so I could pursue the next big step in my career. Those are just a few of the many times I've needed her help and guidance. Without her I wouldn't be at the job I love and have today. She's easy to talk to and tells you what you need to hear -- I recommend her highly!"
- TIA M. / PROJECT MANAGER
"Working with Laurisa was super easy and she made my resume a million times better than it was. I sent my resume to dozens of restaurants and bars and couldn't figure out why I wasn't hearing anything. Once Laurisa updated my resume and talked to me about different ways I could apply for jobs, I started getting calls back right away!"
- ERIN M. / RESTAURANT GM
