Career change coach who's keen on making a difference
Four-time career changer
Hi, I’m Jo.
I’ve been supporting people through career transitions since 2016, and have helped hundreds of professionals explore new directions and move towards work that better fits them.
I’m a career change coach and a four-time career changer myself.
So I know first-hand how confusing, exciting and sometimes daunting it can feel when you realise your current career no longer fits.
Like many of my clients, I’ve had moments where I felt stuck, unsure what direction to take next, and worried about making the wrong move. I know what it's like to be overwhelmed by hours of fruitless Googling.
After navigating several career changes myself, I realised how confusing and lonely the process can feel.
Those experiences eventually led me to train as a career coach and help others navigate their own career transitions.
Today I work with thoughtful professionals who want to move from work that feels draining or unfulfilling towards careers that feel meaningful and energising.
My coaching combines structured exploration, practical experiments and supportive accountability to help you discover what truly fits you.
My own career journey
My own career has taken a few turns — from relocation and market research in London, to the Australian non-profit sector, and eventually into career change coaching. Experiencing my own transitions is what sparked my interest in helping others navigate this process with more clarity and confidence.
I’ve been a Career Change Coach since 2016 and hold a coaching qualification from CoachU. I’m also an Careershifters & Firework Advanced Certified Coach, ensuring my methods are grounded in evidence-based approaches that deliver real results.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I bring both warmth and practicality to the process. My approach combines thoughtful reflection with real-world exploration, helping you move out of overthinking and into action.
Here to help you ‘do good’
If you're motivated to make the world a fairer, kinder place, I'm with you. I have heaps of not-for-profit sector experience and loads of practical ideas on transitioning into working in this area.
Before becoming a career coach, I spent seven years as a project manager in the charity and community sectors. I managed four multimillion-dollar charity fundraisers. I evaluated a national program in paediatric hospitals. I recruited and matched mentors for social enterprises.
All of us want to lead safe, supported, satisfying lives. Helping humans find jobs that make a difference for people and the planet is one reason I became a career coach.
Green by name and nature
Living a low-impact, eco-friendly life has always mattered to me. As the mother of two little boys, protecting the planet and tackling climate change seem more urgent than ever.
When I’m not coaching will find me enjoying the amazing bush walks and beaches Sydney has to offer, upcycling furniture or enjoying a quiet moment reading on my balcony.
