  • As someone who did not come from a fashion background and was transitioning out of financial marketing, I had a job offer by my second session. I never felt so confident in applying to jobs as I have with Carla's help, and have had the pleasure of getting not one, but TWO jobs by working with Carla, that helped me start build a career I could only dream of. Working with Carla is beyond worth it. Her sessions are fun, thoughtful, and prep you for working in the industry. She literally makes what feels impossible, possible! She really is a Fashion Fairy Godmother (but way more badass).”

  • My goal was to get a styling fashion position in New York, and the day after my last session, I received an offer with Intermix! I don’t think I would have gotten an offer, let alone an interview, without her help. In the last 3 months, I completely revamped my resume, changed the way I searched for jobs, prepared for interviews, all with your help. I’m so grateful.”

  • “I met with Carla in the midst of a chaotic situation - one week post-grad, I had an amazing job offer at a fashion PR firm that I had to accept by the end of the day, and another potential dream offer in influencer marketing that I was 99% sure was coming at the end of the week. In 1 hour, Carla helped me implement a strategic plan to leverage the 2 job offers. Within hours of the session, I was able to negotiate that dream offer and begin my career in brand and influencer partnerships!

  • Deciding to invest coaching is was of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Having an expert tailor your resume or job search strategy is so beneficial to finding the right job for you. There is no better investment than yourself, and Carla made the decision so much easier because she is truly passionate about helping young individuals get into the fashion industry, in hopes to aid us in our journey to landing our dream jobs! So worth it!!”

Here’s what you’re up against, and why strategy matters.

  • the average job post gets 250 applications

  • 80% of jobs aren’t even posted — they’re filled through industry networks

  • recruiters take just 6 seconds to scan your resume

  • their job? To rule you out, not in

  • only 4 - 6 candidates get interviews

  • 1 magical human gets the job

    I know. It’s a lot. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.

    You’ve worked too hard to stay stuck. I’ll help you get clear, stand out, and take action so you can build a career (and life) you love.

“I landed my dream full-time job as an assistant stylist with NET-A-PORTER and I did so graduating from a non-fashion school, living outside of New York, and without relying on my network. It was because of the resume you helped me craft that I got my foot in the door, and I don’t think I would have gotten that interview if it wasn’t for your help.”

What if I told you that you’re a few hours away from landing your dream job?

I hear this all the time:

  • “I’m stuck in a job that isn’t going anywhere.”

  • “I can’t get past the first or second round of interviews, or worse, I’m not getting any.”

  • “I’m frustrated, discouraged, and losing confidence.”

  • “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, and I have zero industry connections to help me figure it out.”

  • “My dream career feels completely out of reach.”

You can’t pinpoint your roadblocks to success, and you need an industry expert and mentor to help you figure it out.

You don’t need to do this alone. You just need someone who gets it and knows how to help you get moving.

That’s where I come in.

“Before starting Catalyst, my personal confidence was an 8 out 10, but my confidence in my job search was at a 3 or 4. I was so down about my lack of success in the application process and was feeling extremely anxious. As soon as my sessions started, that feeling went away.”
