Meet Samantha

With over 10 years in corporate big tech (7 years at Amazon and 4 years at Microsoft). I didn’t take a straight path to success, and that’s exactly why I support others through the messy, non-linear, and often overwhelming parts of their careers.

From working at McDonald’s to landing roles at Amazon and Microsoft, my journey has been anything but traditional. I started at community college, earned my bachelor’s in Information Technology in my mid-20s, and later completed a master’s degree from the University of Washington. I know what it means to bet on yourself—even when the timing isn’t perfect.

At Microsoft, I led strategy, operations, and cross-functional execution for MCAPS-aligned projects within the Microsoft Career Hub—an internal platform focused on on-the-job learning and talent development. I partnered across teams to scale programs, drive adoption, and champion learning as a growth strategy.

But even with those wins, I’ve faced performance challenges, self-doubt, layoffs, and the kind of setbacks that make you question your worth. That’s why I coach—with real empathy, hard-won wisdom, and a deep commitment to helping you come back stronger.

👩🏾‍💼 I work with:
- Emerging and mid-career professionals
- Career climbers trying to land the next big role—or survive the one they’re in
- People navigating job changes, layoffs, promotions, or performance concerns
- Anyone who’s ever felt “behind,” overlooked, or out of place in corporate spaces

💡 How I help:
- I share the exact tools and templates I’ve used to negotiate offers, rebound from setbacks, and advocate for growth
- I offer 1:1 coaching focused on mindset, storytelling, strategy, and execution
- I help you shift from surviving to *thriving*, no matter how chaotic your journey feels

✨ If you’re tired of playing small and ready to reclaim your power, let’s work together.
