Resume Writing Expertise

I am a triple certified Master Resume Writer (MRW~ACRW~CPRW), Wharton MBA, and former executive search professional.

I leverage my education, broad business background, and experience in retained executive search for your benefit. 

I understand the difficulty that even the most seasoned professionals can have in marketing themselves. Having interviewed countless executives at the highest levels, I am extremely adept at drawing you out in conversation – sifting through your entire career to ascertain your greatest leadership strengths, your most significant accomplishments, and your core competencies.

As a written communications expert, I work with you to create and convey a unique personal brand that positions these strengths, accomplishments, and competencies in the best possible way to attain your professional goals. And with both domestic and international experience, I can help you market yourself either locally, or on a global basis.

Professional Background

I started my career as an Analyst in Lehman Brothers' Investment Banking group in New York. I then joined a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton as Associate Vice President with the Equity Research team.

Soon after graduating from The Wharton School, I made a career pivot and helped build Sterling, a newly launched executive search consultancy in Dubai. I subsequently joined the Dubai office of Spencer Stuart where I executed retained executive searches for senior-level appointments worldwide.

After moving back to the U.S. in 2010, I decided to leverage my experience in the global careers industry and launched The Emphatic Resume.

Education & Certification

I received an M.B.A. from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania where I was awarded the Joseph Wharton Scholarship for leadership and academic achievement.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania as part of the Benjamin Franklin Scholar Honors Program.

I am also a Master Resume Writer, Academy Certified Resume Writer, and Certified Professional Resume Writer .
