Career Help for Young Adults in Fashion & Creative Industries | Parent Information

Why would my child need a career coach?

You’ve supported your child through every stage of their education — from tutors and test prep to college admissions advisors. However, when it comes to launching a career, especially in competitive industries such as fashion, media, or the arts, most young adults are expected to figure it out on their own.

The truth is: the leap from college to career is one of the most confusing and overwhelming transitions your child will face. And while their school may offer a career center, it rarely provides the tailored, real-world guidance students need to stand out in today’s job market, let alone in a creative field.

That’s where I come in.

I’m a career coach for college students, recent grads, and young adults in their early 20s who want to pursue careers in fashion or other creative industries. My coaching helps students gain clarity, build confidence, and take aligned, strategic steps toward internships and entry-level roles.

Whether your child is trying to figure out what they want to do or already knows but doesn’t know how to break in, I offer personalized, practical support, from career clarity to networking strategies to application prep.

Why the creative industry requires a different kind of guidance

The creative industry is fast-paced, ever-changing, and often difficult to break into without insider knowledge. Between 70–80% of creative industry jobs are filled through referrals or internal networks, not job boards, which makes strategy, positioning, and internship experience crucial.

As a coach who has spent over 15 years in the fashion, beauty, and entertainment world, I understand exactly what it takes to get in the door and thrive. My goal is to help your student:

  • Find clarity about their interests and goals

  • Build confidence in how they present themselves

  • Learn how to advocate for their ideas and navigate early career challenges

  • Secure meaningful internships and entry-level roles in fashion, beauty, entertainment, or other creative industries

Why work with me?

I exclusively coach college students, recent graduates, and early-career creatives because I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges they face. My experience includes:

  • 15+ years in the fashion industry

  • Founder of the leading fashion internship website

  • Previous Adjunct Professor at LIM College’s graduate program

  • Master’s degrees from Columbia (Strategic Communications) and Harvard (Management)

  • Dozens of success stories, with students landing internships and jobs at GQ, Christian Louboutin, Balmain, Jimmy Choo, and more

Whether your child is exploring their options or ready to pursue a dream role, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the tools to take the next step.
