PATHFINDER PARTNERS

We understand that finding your path can be confusing, frustrating, and seem very complicated.

​

At Pathfinder Partners, we clear the fog to help you identify your interests, skills, and strengths, and then create an individualized plan for you to move forward toward your career destination.

About

How pathfinder partners can help

We are an educational and career planning consulting company that provides academic and career guidance to high school students, college students, recent college graduates, and experienced workers.

​

It can be confusing to decide what direction to take after high school, which college major to pursue, how to find a job with your college major after graduation, and strategies for growth after time in the workforce.  

 

We work with students, graduates, and experienced workers to help them uncover options for good fit careers based upon their unique interests, abilities, values, and personality type. Then we develop an individualized plan detailing next steps to set our clients on the path to their desired destination.

president

My great passion is helping people discover good fit career options for fulfillment and satisfaction.  Each career journey is different, and I use the skills and lessons learned through my professional experience in the corporate world as well as the training as a Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) through the National Career Development Association (NCDA).

 

My passion for this work grew from a career in financial services where I trained and coached early career professionals and participated in recruiting efforts with talent acquisition teams. I was also a Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) leader and co-founded the New Jersey Women’s Network (Employee Resource Group or ERG) with a mission of providing D&I training, professional development programs and networking opportunities to help colleagues navigate opportunities and advance in their careers.
