My name is Aileen and I help exhausted professionals manage their stress and land work they love.
For the past 15+ years I’ve lived in the Boston area and have worked with thousands of clients from young adults to seasoned career professionals.
One-on-one: I guide people through the tactical side of making a change in their professional lives (hello resumes, cover letters, interviewing, and job search strategies!). I also support employees with career advancement within their organization.
In conference keynotes and wellbeing sessions at companies: I help people manage their stress and recover from burnout through highly personalized and interactive programs. It’s a joy to provide actionable tools to help employees restore their energy so they can continue to do what they love.
A few years after I started career coaching, my older brother was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and had a football sized tumor in his chest. After 5 different chemotherapy regimens and a stem-cell transplant, he was in remission and has been ever since.
His journey to health had an incredible impact on mine, and ignited my passion for wellness. Since the majority of disease is linked to stress (over 80% of visits to doctors are stress related source) and a major source of stress for many is work, I felt compelled to acknowledge the relationship that work and wellness have with one another.
Clients come to me feeling stressed for many reasons, such as the job itself, a toxic environment, and/or fear of change. It’s amazing to see how much more grounded, confident, and calm they are after our time together.
I take pride in meeting people wherever they are in their journey towards career wellbeing, and giving give them the tools they uniquely need to move forward.
I love what I do, and that I get the honor of helping others be able to say the same.

five fun facts
I have a twin brother… and people ask if we’re identical :)
Amy is the fake name I give when ordering coffee/food. My name is pronounced A-lean and people struggle.
I don’t type properly on a keyboard - it’s more of a pecking approach, but incredibly fast!
I’ve run 4 or 5 half marathons… but dislike running.
My love of public speaking was sparked (way!) back in high school. As part of a class, I was required to write a persuasive speech and enter a declamation contest… and won. Harnessing those nerves and feeling the energy of connecting with the crowd to make an impact hooked me and I’ve been honing my craft ever since.
