Coaching for Early Career Professionals

Hi, I’m Tara, a certified coach supporting early career professionals and recent college grads. I help clients build strong personal brands, gain career clarity, and navigate tactical job search strategies, all while staying ahead of the latest industry trends.

With extensive experience in career development, teaching, and training, I've helped recent college graduates and early career professionals successfully land new roles, increase their earning potential, and take charge of their careers by facilitating smooth transitions and achieving career pivots with confidence and clarity.

I’ve been featured in The Denver Post, spoken at online career fairs, and lectured on career and professional development at CU Denver.

Let’s Work Together

  • The 4-week coaching program "Student to Salary: Breaking into the job market" is designed to help recent college graduates struggling to land their first job. This program provides practical tools, strategies, and confidence-building exercises to empower participants as they transition into the workforce.

  • The 4-week coaching program "Managing Your Career: From Salary to Success" is designed to help individuals take charge of their career trajectory, from understanding their value to setting actionable goals for long-term success.

  • "Tara is a wonderful career coach. To start off, she has a calm and reassuring presence, and is able to listen to you fully. She is not distracted and retains information so well. She is then able to take what she has heard from you, and formulate thoughtful, inspiring, and strategic questions to help you think more clearly about your career ambitions, decisions etc. She also gives you helpful exercises and worksheets to think through career next steps. Additionally, she provides exceptional help with resume work and Linkedin profiles. I would highly recommend Tara as a Coach!"

  • "I felt that I needed a career and/or life change, and it was time to focus on returning to work. I had received notice of an event hosted by Tara at Mothership Boulder. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. On the first day, I was nervous because I would show vulnerability and talk about my career, my family, and myself. By the last day of the workshop, I was sad to see it end. However, Tara taught me many things—how to nail my :30 pitch, create my LinkedIn bio, speak confidently, network with confidence, and interview like a pro. During the workshop, I networked with people I would never have thought to reach out to. But those connections and follow-ups led to me finding a dream career at the perfect time. Tara is a career guru, and if you need the inspiration to make a career change, you should get in touch with her. You will not be disappointed."

  • "I decided that I wanted to shift gears in my career and get a job working in tech. I went through one interview and knew right away that I needed more support. That was when I reached out to Tara to help me through this process. From resume support to job hunting in the most effective way, to interview prep, to mid-day emails with questions! Tara was there for me with her wealth of information. I'm happy to say I just landed a job at my DREAM company. Tara, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You! I'm so excited to start this next chapter of my life."
