Charina helped me through a difficult career transition. I went from being very confused about my next steps to landing an amazing job opportunity. Her experience as a recruiter was invaluable for giving me savvy, practical advice, including resume writing, networking ideas, and job search tips. At the same time, her talents as a coach enabled her to guide me through the soul-searching and personal development that was needed for a major life shift. I would highly recommend working with her for her infectious bubbly energy, insightful perspective, and optimistic yet realistic outlook.
