About Barb

I gained tremendous insight reviewing thousands of resumes and interviewing hundreds of people during 25+ years as a Human Resources leader. With a focus on recruitment and selection, my HR career extended across business, healthcare, and not for profit worlds. I treasure the time I worked with executives, learned from professionals, and coached leaders through all things HR with a leading community organization.

Fast forward to 2018 when I began exploring how I could help others with their careers. I earned credentials as a resume writer and career professional and found my niche helping executives, managers, and accomplished professionals transition their careers. My HR experience has proven invaluable as I help executives and senior, mid-level, and new professionals take life enhancing steps with professional and confidential career services.

Working with a career coach early in my career gave me an advantage. Today, backed with professional accreditation, award-winning work, and client success stories, I am paying it forward and helping others reach their goals.

It may sound cheesy, but I approach career consulting the same way I operate in everything ... being thoughtful, strategic, attending to details, and applying incredible determination to deliver the best results possible.

I remain a Certified Human Resources Professional and bring an employer balanced perspective to helping people lead successful careers. That's an advantage for people transitioning roles!

Free time? Volunteerism is part of my world, and I've had board and mentorship roles with The Christmas Bureau of Edmonton, Edmonton Triathlon Club, and United Way. Today I help career professionals across the country as a board director and certification assessment volunteer with Canada's national career association, Career Professionals of Canada.

Beyond that, I work hard at leading a healthy lifestyle and staying fit. My husband and I are 9x Ironman Finishers and are always training!
