Hey, I’m Chanèle 👋🏽

I never knew what I wanted to be when I "grew up." My career journey is a story of curiosity, pivoting and the resilience to keep moving forward — all while sharing publicly along the way.

My life changed when I launched my career blog in 2016 as a side hobby while working full-time in digital marketing. Since then, I've built a personal brand that has taken me from extreme introvert to TEDx speaker and I've positioned myself as a leading career strategy expert.

During that time, I hosted a networking event where no one showed up, quit my job at one point to be a full-time entrepreneur and then jumped back into the corporate world a year later. I pivoted into the talent acquisition/recruitment marketing field and I love it here.

I've now built a meaningful portfolio career that allows me to live out my mission of helping people launch, pivot and accelerate their careers. In addition to my full-time job, I write, speak and teach on all things career strategy and I advise a number of organizations on youth employment, career programming and the future of work.
