Like knowing what it’s like to smile through a calendar full of things you secretly hate, while you miss your favorite Friday dinner date with your friends (again) for a job that drains you and gives you ZERO flexibility.
I’m a certified career coach and strategist for early to mid-career professional women who want to earn more, stress less, and finally have a career that fits their real ass lives now, and not the 21-year-old version of themselves.
From earning a Master's and a PhD in demography (specifically mortality) to leading family planning and reproductive health data programs across 25 countries, to managing multimillion-dollar teams: I was literally a vibe. A vibe living a lie.
Lean in closer so I can explain...
Let’s see. I had the titles: check.
I had the salary(ish): check.
I had the “respect”: sort of check.
Everyone thought I was killing the game. As a first-generation Cameroonian woman whose mother raised 6 kids after becoming a widow in a new country???
But girl.
I was drained.
I was exhausted.
I was always anxious.
My work gave me zero flexibility to actually enjoy my life dammit!
I was barely surviving.
I was constantly getting slack pings on my phone at every hour, had zero flexibility, was constantly being yelled at, and like a silly goose I thought working harder would finally get my directors to respect me! So I did!
I know YOU know that feeling: crap, I’m doing everything right(ish) but why does this feel so wrong???”
Then like a pyramid of empty Natty Lights, it all came crashing down.
Literally.
I almost died in childbirth (remind me to tell you about that one day).
I’m never spending another damn day in a world where Beyonce lives, to work in
And I don’t want you to either.
I love ya too much for that.
So what did I do next? I turned the reset I needed into the work I do now.
Cause loving women is my blood type.
Since launching the Career Reset, I’ve helped clients land six-figure roles, negotiate raises that made them cry happy tears (no ugly criers around here), and finally stop apologizing for wanting more.
You’ve already been trusting systems that weren’t built for women like you: the kind who juggle a demanding job, maybe a demanding toddler, and a demanding brain that doesn’t turn off at 2 a.m.
You need someone who actually gets it! Someone who’s been burned out, wants to grow, and still ambitious as hell! Someone who has the receipts of VERY. HAPPY. CLIENTS.
I'm literally here to build your career strategy
I’m not here to coddle you or crush you. I’ll tell you the truth, make you laugh, and hand you a strategy that actually respects your bandwidth.
I blend softness with tons of structure (I’m a Capricorn, so I thrive on organizing even my underwear), because women like us don’t need to be told “just hustle bossbabe!!”.
We need a framework that finally makes room for our real lives and our real goals.
My clients don’t just get better résumés; they get careers that fit their lives.
Because this isn’t about chasing “success.” It’s about building work that finally respects you back and allows you to actually have a gorgeous, uninterrupted 5-9pm.
Most career coaching was built for gym bros who don’t wipe down equipment (ew) or “feminine energy” people who have time to journal in silence and “manifest clarity” before preschool drop-off.
That’s not you (and if it is, well… this just got awkward…).
Her coaching helped me push past limiting beliefs, realign my goals, and build a sustainable career that reflects my values and strengths.

Jane’s multi-layered coaching helped me see the full scope of my value — connecting my experience, strengths, and goals into a powerful narrative that changed my career trajectory.
"After countless hours refining my story with Jane, I finally had the confidence and adaptability to deliver it in a way that landed my dream international move."

My grounding rituals include… a 5-step skincare routine, at least one of my 93 perfumes, daily movement, and romance novels about morally gray men with… strong time management skills. Also: evening us time with my husband and parent training with my son’s ABA therapist.
my happy place!
Anywhere near water. It’s where I go to think, create, breathe, and come back to myself. (Fun fact: I wrote my wedding vows during a sunset in Dakar, Senegal.)
You can find me…lifting heavy shit at the gym before sunrise or stretched out on the beach with my husband and our two incredible boys, pink Stanley in hand, hydration levels elite, SPF applied like religion, cause I refuse to look like a raisin in the sun.
Off-duty, I'm Just Jane
What I’m currently obsessed with…the history of perfume and how North Africa shaped scent during WWII. (I told you I don’t do casual hobbies.)
Guilty pleasure? White girl rage music when I lift. Pancake-syrup perfumes. And Pinterest boards that have absolutely no business being as organized as they are.
my guilty pleasures
People who know me best tease me about…my fear of turtles. I believe turtles are aliens from another dimension who walk and act slow because they’re actually trying to garner information on us to overthrow us. Fight me.
Off-Duty, I'm Just Jane
How I recharge…a book, a tea, a long talk with my mom (she lives with us!), and the kind of laughter that feels like medicine.
GVO
People are surprised to learn… I’m deeply spiritual. Every morning and night, I pause, listen to what the Universe is saying, and whisper, “I thank you and I receive it.”
The smells that make me happiest…
Spring: clean white florals.
Summer: citrus, tropical scents, and sparkly tea.
Fall: rice, bourbon, and boozy gourmand heaven.
Winter: turn the fall volume way up.
No more jobs that look good on paper but feel like hell in real life. No more squeezing your whole self into someone else’s definition of success.
