✦ Stop waiting for a Chance. Create Yours.

Bridging the gap between overlooked talent & the teams that need them.

I spent 8 years behind the Fortune 500 hiring table, then pivoted into mainframe engineering myself. Now I help career changers get ready, and get seen, through workshops and The Chance Circle.

I spent over eight years recruiting for JPMorgan Chase, Intuit and TD Bank. I reviewed thousands of resumes and watched talented people get overlooked because no one showed them how the system works.

Then I made my own pivot, from recruiting into mainframe systems engineering, the critical infrastructure behind financial systems. I don't just teach the playbook. I've lived it.

Chance Create exists because opportunity shouldn't depend on who you know. I prepare overlooked talent and connect them with teams smart enough to hire them.
