Hi hi! I'm Kelsey
AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
I'm a dedicated career coach based in Northern Virginia. My journey into coaching began in the classroom, where I spent ten years as an elementary teacher and instructional coach. Since then, I've had the privilege of supporting school leaders all around the country connect to their vision and pursue excellence for their teachers and students. All of these experiences have helped me discover my passion for guiding and supporting individuals in their personal and professional growth.
I took a leap of faith to start Career Coach Kelsey in early 2024 and I’ve been fortunate to help numerous clients find clarity, purpose, and direction in their careers. I believe that every career path should be a journey of discovery and fulfillment, and I’m here to help you navigate that journey with confidence, ease, and support.
My approach is rooted in a deep commitment to helping people not only achieve their professional goals but also find healing and balance along the way. I understand that career transitions can be both exciting and challenging, and I’m here to offer support and insights every step of the way.


So you want a new job... I got you!
THIS COACHING IS FOR YOU IF YOU...
-
feel stuck in your current role & don't know what's next
-
feel undervalued and unfulfilled
-
have lost yourself in your work
-
are recovering from a toxic workplace
-
need a fresh start

MY APPROACH
Here's what I believe to be true: We all deserve to live a life we love - and yes, that includes work! The goal for our careers isn't happiness necessarily, but alignment to our personal values. Finding a role that brings alignment is the path to true peace, joy, and freedom.
I'm not your typical career coach! It's not just about the resume, friend! Yes, revising your resume and cover letter is part of the process but finding a new career opportunity is SO much more than that!
We'll work together to discover the most authentic version of yourself to embark on a career journey that's all your own.


On a personal note...
a few things to know about me...
I currently live in Northern Virginia with my husband Devon and my son Colby. My full-time gig is with an education non-profit where I coach School Leaders around the country to become the best leaders they can be to improve student outcomes.
In my free time, I love being outside, practicing yoga, trying new foods, listening to podcasts, and traveling.
what inspires me:
I am so incredibly inspired by creative and authentic people. To me, there's nothing more beautiful than someone who is brave enough to show up as their authentic self regardless of the pressures of the world around them. Being authentic and true to myself has and always will be a goal of mine. I'll take a deep, vulnerable conversation over small talk any day. I truly believe we all deserve to exist in this world wholeheartedly and I hope that I can live my life in a way that inspires others to do the same.
