Bio
Camila Santucci
Working with Angela for 6 months was life changing. I came to her seeking help in transitioning out of a career that left me feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled, and living on autopilot. Angela’s input during each of our sessions was relevant to pushing me forward, to get me to the place I needed to be. Her positive energy has helped me to make choices from a place of optimism instead of insecurity, which has had a powerful impact on my career. Angela is incredibly professional and friendly. Through her knowledge, dedication, and willingness, I was able to identify my strengths and to embrace my core values. She helped me navigate a midlife career transition, identify solid job offers, sharpen my resume, interview skills, outreach to potential employers, and how to handle tricky situations that came up during the job searching process. I was ready and willing to make changes in my professional life and Angela was there to guide me in the right direction. She impacted my life in ways I did not expect. Our sessions were above and beyond my expectations. Angela is an excellent listener and provides valuable advice and accountability to help vision and attain what you want at different points in your career.
