  • "I just graduated college and knew what my interests and skills, but I didn’t know how to translate that into a particular role or how to get my foot in the door. Coming from a liberal arts education, my college didn’t have a lot of resources in the advertising world, so I struggled to get advice on how to get started. I had been searching for some entry level position for a few months post-grad and was feeling pretty defeated. I was introduced to Sam & Lori and I am now happily in a design role at a PR company."

  • I spent the summer doing coaching with Sam who was thoughtful, empathetic, and helped me understand myself and my values better. She truly has a talent for coaching and created a safe space for me to work through so many things I was struggling with. I’ll be forever greatful for the experience – Thank you Sam!

  • "This program is much needed. As you know, looking for employment is difficult and stressful for anyone. College supposedly prepares a person for a career but not much time, if at all, is spent on how to get the career job. The process of looking for employment is usually undefined and stressful. Career Compass Program provides structure (a framework to which to work with), organization, expertise guidance and training. In addition to concrete support, Career Compass lends support in undefined ways, as career searches can be lonely and disheartening for an individual. Sam & Lori’s years of expertise in working with placing creative talent in career positions gives credibility and insight to those who are looking to enter into an industry that can often have an obscure pathway."

Sam's ability to understand my strengths and match them with the right opportunities was invaluable. They not only provided guidance every step of the way but also instilled confidence in me during the process.

Their dedication to helping recent grads and career pivoters is truly commendable.
