hi! I’m norma ✦
…a dedicated interview coach with more than a decade of experience. I’ve helped people get prestigious jobs in big tech, top consulting firms, startups, biotech, law, communications, training, and brand management.
I do this work because career advancement can be a doorway to a new life. My career has given me access to great healthcare, the chance to travel the world, the serendipity of meeting my partner, and the privilege of giving back. But I didn’t do it alone. It takes collaboration to make progress and achieve our goals; that’s why I’m supporting others on their fulfilling career journeys. With a little help, we can all be stars at work.

Testimonials:
Christian
Software Engineer
Thanks to her guidance, I walked into interviews with a new level of confidence and clarity — and it showed. I credit her coaching as a major factor not only in landing my current role, but also in setting the foundation for the success and respect I’ve earned within my company today.
Adrienne
Brand Director + Entrepreneur
I was trying to pivot from manager-level roles in Brand and eCommerce at large CPG companies into a Director-level position at a fast-growing apparel brand entering the U.S. market. I didn’t have a background in apparel, but Norma helped me pinpoint the transferable skills that would matter most—and showed me exactly how to present them in a way that made sense for this new industry.
Rebecca
Sr. Vice President, Compliance + Risk
When I was preparing for interviews, Norma offered extraordinarily constructive advice. She posed mock interview questions that turned out to be nearly identical to the ones asked during my interview, and offered thoughtful, tailored feedback to help me enhance my responses. Norma has a unique ability to hone in on relevant experiences and to help highlight ways to articulate those experiences in a fulsome way.
Tara
Attorney + Professional Coach
As I was preparing for interviews at BCG, she provided invaluable insights and guidance—helping me refine my strategy, structure, and communication—with a level of clarity and support that was unmatched. Thanks to her coaching, I walked into those interviews (among the toughest in the industry) confident and well-prepared, and I was ultimately hired.
