I started working with Kira in March during one of the most difficult points in my job search. I felt discouraged and uncertain about my direction, but from the very first session, Kira brought a rare combination of compassion, insight, and strategy that made all the difference.
She took the time to deeply understand my career history and long-term goals, then helped me identify gaps and blind spots that I couldn’t see on my own.
Kira guided me to set realistic 3–6 month expectations, and her strategic thinking gave me a renewed sense of clarity and control. One of the most impactful parts of our work together was the resume audit. Kira went through my resume line by line, offering expert-level feedback and thoughtful edits that truly elevated how I presented myself on paper.
She also helped me sharpen my storytelling for networking conversations and coffee chats, which directly led to interview opportunities.
When I landed an interview with Amazon, Kira was right there with me—helping me prepare thoughtfully and strategically for every round. Her encouragement and sharp coaching played a critical role in helping me land the job.
Kira is attentive, passionate, and genuinely committed to helping others succeed. I’m so grateful to have worked with her—and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have made it to Amazon without her support. She’s the real deal.

I want to start by being completely honest. I tend to be highly critical of the academic world. I’ve had extensive conversations with Kira about aspects of the program we met through that I disagreed with. I mention this to emphasize that what I’m about to say about Kira comes from a place of absolute sincerity.
Kira is, without a doubt, the single best person I have had the privilege of working with in my academic journey. She was an exceptional advisor, but more specifically, she is a resume guru. The company I landed at receives an average of 3,000 applicants per internship slot, with many getting instantly rejected. During my phone interview, one of the first things they mentioned was how impressed they were with my resume. I ultimately secured the internship and was recently converted to full-time, all thanks to Kira’s meticulous review and guidance. Now, when I evaluate resumes from new applicants, I rely on the tools Kira taught me to identify the next generation of talent.
Beyond her expertise, Kira is an incredible listener. She doesn’t just hear you, she truly listens. I’ll never forget a late lunch we shared during a cohort meetup, where we talked for an hour. She encouraged me to express my thoughts openly, engaged with my perspective, and offered meaningful feedback.
She is the definition of an advisor.
She is the definition of a coach.
She is the definition of a mentor.
If you’re on the fence about working with Kira, let me make it simple: you’d be making a mistake to pass up the opportunity.

I reached out to Kira after experiencing the first layoff of my career. I hadn't interviewed for a job in 16 years. So even though I was a seasoned professional in my field, I was wildly unpracticed in navigating the job market.
Kira was incredibly helpful in walking me through what modern recruiters are looking for, as well as helping me simply understand what I wanted to do next, at this major pivot point in my life. She looked over my linkedin profile and helped me fine tune how I marketed myself to hiring managers.
I ultimately decided to get in business for myself as opposed to taking another full time job. Nonetheless, Kira helped me regain my confidence in telling my story and getting back into the workforce.

A personal note of gratitude: I wouldn’t have navigated this past year without the steady guidance of my career coach, Kira.
She was a constant source of clarity, encouragement, and perspective during a season of real uncertainty. If you’re in transition—or even just sensing it may be time to pause and reflect—I can’t recommend working with a coach like Kira enough (and even better if it is Kira!).

Kira coached me as I prepared for a complete career pivot during graduate school. She helped me take an unconventional background and tell a compelling story that really resonated with employers in a new industry-- to great success.
As someone who was somewhat agnostic to industry and function, I struggled with articulating (and deciding) what I wanted to do next. I worried about being too specific and potentially shutting out good opportunities.
She gave me the confidence to choose something I knew I'd truly love and go after that in a targeted way. Following her advice didn't lead me astray-- I had a focused plan and achieved all of my goals with her excellent advice and support.
I highly recommend Kira as a coach, as well as swell human being!

Kira helped me reshape my professional story and attract the kinds of positions I wanted to go for. After 4 years of freelancing, and doing all sorts of different things, I was able to take all my experiences and skills and create a coherent narrative. I definitely recommend her if you're in transition career wise and need some guidance on where to go next and how to get there.

Working with Kira was one of the best investments I made in my job search.
I came in with experience but needed someone who could sharpen my approach and give me real insight into how the process actually works, not just interview tips, but what recruiters are actually thinking and doing at each stage.
Kira delivered that and much more. She has a rare ability to demystify the recruitment process in a way that makes you feel informed and confident rather than reactive.
She broke down networking in a way that genuinely shifted my perspective, dismantling assumptions I'd carried for years and replacing them with a framework that actually felt natural to execute.
Her interview prep was concrete and tactical, with specific skills and framing to develop rather than vague advice.
And throughout the entire process, she was generous with her time, warm, clear in her guidance, and a genuine partner every step of the way, celebrating wins alongside me and keeping momentum when things felt uncertain.
I ended up as a finalist for two competing roles at Google and Meta, and accepted the Meta offer.
If you want a coach who will truly meet you where you are, bring real insider perspective, and show up as a genuine advocate for your success, Kira is exceptional. I can't recommend her highly enough.

As an international student trying to land a job in the US, the journey wasn’t easy. But Kira was there every step of the way, from resume building to mock interviews, giving me the guidance, confidence, and encouragement I needed.
Thanks to her support as a career strategist in my graduate program, I landed my dream job, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without her.
She’s sharp, engaging, and truly invested in helping her clients succeed!

Kira is an incredible person and an invaluable resource.
She focused on the skills and insights that truly matter in the professional world.
During my first semester in the MBA program, Kira prepared me for my interview at Nike's WHQ for a summer internship, and as a result, I was quickly accepted into the program.
During my final year of the MBA program, I relied heavily on Kira's expertise to help me understand the job market and its expectations.
No matter when or what challenges I faced, Kira was always there to offer support.
Even after I graduated, Kira continued to be a valuable resource by guiding me through the recruitment process and that ultimately helped me land my current job.
Today, I'm working at a company I truly love, and I owe much of this success to Kira.

I've had the pleasure of working with Kira, since the very earliest stages of my career (20+ years), and I can't recommend her enough!
She’s insightful, a fantastic listener, and a master at asking the right questions, and helping you frame challenges in a way that leads to a successful resolution.
Her approach is both empathetic and direct, making her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to navigate career transitions or enhance their professional journey.

I had the privilege of working with Kira as my MBA career coach, and I can confidently say that anyone who has the opportunity to be coached by her is incredibly fortunate.
Her ability to offer thoughtful, tailored guidance is unmatched, and she goes above and beyond for each person she works with.
What sets Kira apart is her comprehensive approach to career development.
She utilizes a variety of career coaching techniques, from structured courses and group coaching sessions to one-on-one meetings, ensuring that every person receives the support they need.
She consistently checked in, offering guidance, encouragement, and actionable advice to help me navigate my career path with confidence.
Beyond her expertise, Kira’s genuine investment in her client’s success is truly inspiring.
Her strategic, individualized approach empowers clients to find the right fit, explore new opportunities, and develop the skills needed to thrive in their careers.
I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be in the position I am today without Kira’s support.
She played a pivotal role in shaping my career journey, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance.
I highly recommend Kira to any MBA student or anyone looking for a career pivot. She is not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to ensuring every individual she coaches finds the right path and achieves success.

What truly sets Kira apart though is client-centric approach.
She is deeply focused on understanding your unique aspirations and creating a comfortable, supportive environment that makes it easy to discuss even the most challenging career uncertainties.
In doing so, Kira doesn't simply steer you towards a predefined role, but rather helps you discover a career that genuinely aligns with your passions and continuously challenges you to grow.
If you’re seeking a career coach who listens deeply, challenges you thoughtfully, and is genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend Kira.
