Career Garden

Plant your career- Watch it blossom with Career Garden

Marie Pierce,CCC
ABOUT:
As a nationally certified career counselor with a Masters in School Counseling, I bring an upbeat and engaging approach to guiding clients of all ages through the career exploration journey. While my thumb may not be green when it comes to actual gardening, I excel at cultivating thriving “career gardens!” My special areas of focus are assisting high school students, college students, and young professionals with resume/CV building, cover letters, interview skills, networking and more.
At my roots, I believe our careers are but one facet of our complex lives. Using the Life Design framework, I aim to facilitate self-discovery and growth to empower each person in achieving their professional aspirations on their own terms. Whether you’re prepping for your first position or revamping your career path, I’m dedicated to serving up personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs.
With 8+ years of experience in education and counseling, and 3+ years as a dedicated career counselor in higher education, I have a knack for connecting with clients in an uplifting yet meaningful way. I’m passionate about guiding people to uncover careers where they can thrive and find genuine fulfillment. If you’re ready to start cultivating, I’m here to help your talents blossom!

*Please note that I am not a "Life Coach," I am an academically trained career development professional
