Helping you build fireproof narratives so your story stays in your voice
Offerings
These are just a few of the ways we help transform your voice into power.
Whether you’re navigating a career shift, reworking your story for the stage, or building a braver brand, we’re here to make sure your narrative reflects the fullness of who you are — not just what fits in a checkbox.
If you’ve got something that needs voice, story, or direction, let’s talk.
We’ll figure out how to shape it into something fireproof and unapologetically yours.
Career Clarity & Confidence Coaching
You already know you’re meant for more — now let’s name it. We’ll get clear on what matters to you, what you’re damn good at, and how to turn that into a path that feels honest, exciting, and unapologetically yours.
Narrative-Based Resume & Interview Prep
You’re more than bullet points and buzzwords. Together, we craft resumes, cover letters and prep for interviews in a way that tells truth about what you bring — clearly, boldly, and without playing small.
Leadership & Change Activation
Whether you’re stepping into leadership or stuck in a culture that doesn’t reflect your values, I help you disrupt with intention. We focus on navigating change, building brave teams, and showing up as the kind of leader you needed earlier in your career.
Special Education & IEP Advocacy
Navigating special education can feel like stepping into a maze with no map. Whether you’re a parent trying to make sense of IEP meetings, or a student feeling unheard in a system that’s supposed to support you, it’s overwhelming—and often infuriating.
I’ve lived this from both sides. I know what it’s like to be the kid at the center of the meeting, and I know what it’s like to sit on the other side of the table with a law degree in hand.
This service supports parents and students in the special education administrative process, including IEP and 504 processes. This includes reviewing documents, preparing for meetings, helping clarify goals, and ensuring that students receive the services and support they are legally entitled to.
With a background in both law and narrative strategy, I help families communicate their needs clearly and powerfully in a system that often feels confusing or dismissive..
Personal Branding for Students
Resumes, websites, portfolios, LinkedIn—yeah, those things matter. But most students either overdo it or don’t do it at all. I help students create a clear, aligned presence across platforms without turning them into a walking brochure. This is storytelling strategy for real humans not polished robots.
College + Scholarship Essay Coaching
I help students write essays that admissions officers actually remember. We dig through the noise to find the truth—messy, honest, and fully theirs. Then we shape it into a story that doesn’t sound like it came from ChatGPT or a guidance counselor checklist. This is not just about “selling yourself” it’s about revealing yourself in a way that feels powerful and real.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
While I bring my whole self to this work, including my legal background, none of these offerings include legal advice*. I guide, coach, and support my clients through personal storytelling, decision-making, and self-advocacy work. On occasions, I might strongly urge a client to seek legal consultation and will, when possible, offer trusted attorneys within my network. I do not currently have a formal referral agreement with any attorney or firm and did not plan to create one in the future.
Note: I am available for direct client representation on a very limited basis for clients living in New York or Massachusetts. Such agreements shall be formalized through a retainer agreement separate from any coaching or consulting contracts.
About Christina (She/Her)
Writer, turned attorney, turned Narrative Strategist
As a teenager, I was in and out of institutions designed to shrink me. Therapeutic boarding schools, special education classrooms, children’s hospitals—places that said they were built to help, but mostly wanted me quiet, compliant, contained. Not whole, not curious, and definitely not free. These systems didn’t care about truth. They cared about order.
Still, I got out. I made it to college, then law school. I played the part, hit the milestones, collected the wins. From the outside, I was thriving. But I was doing it by severing the truth of who I was. I kept my trauma tucked away, treated it like a stain I needed to bleach out of my story.
But here’s the thing: trauma isn’t a badge of honor, sure—but it’s not shameful either. It’s not something to sanitize. It’s not something to erase. And it damn sure isn’t something to turn into a TED Talk just to make other people comfortable.
I didn’t want to be someone who simply “overcame.” I wanted to be someone who integrated. So I burned down the “from trauma to courtroom” narrative that had been written for me. And I started crafting a new one. One where I didn’t just have trauma in my past—but hold it, every day, and still move, build, lead, and live. Not in spite of it. With it.
This work—Narrative Strategy—isn’t just business for me. It’s personal. I’m building it for the younger version of me who didn’t need another lesson in how to disappear herself. She needed someone to tell her the truth: that it’s possible to be whole. Even in a world that’s built to break you into parts.
And then she needed someone to show her how.
