About Elena

HR insider turned
career advocate

I started my HR career at the University of British Columbia, then deepened my HR expertise at Loblaw and moved into people consulting at KPMG. Along the way, I've led HR teams across construction, retail, and law — giving me a broad, practical perspective on what organizations really need from their people.

That insider knowledge is exactly what I bring to every coaching session. I don't just coach career theory — I give you the real tactics that hiring managers, recruiters, and executives respond to, because I've been on their side of the table.

My clients range from new graduates landing their first professional role to senior managers making bold pivots. What they all share: a desire to take control of their career, not just react to it.
