I want to talk about Career B.L.I.S.S.: How to Transition from College to Career with Ease.
This isn’t just another career guide. It's a movement that challenges the status quo and flips the script on traditional career advice, specifically for folks with marginalized identities. The book's core idea is that you already have everything you need for success; you just need to know how to articulate it. It teaches you a clear, 5-step process (B.L.I.S.S.) to create a career that celebrates who you are and supports the life you want to live.
A huge part of the book is built on Dr. Yosso’s community cultural wealth theory, helping readers see that their unique backgrounds—what society might call 'disadvantages'—are actually powerful strengths, or forms of capital they can leverage in the job market. It covers everything from crafting application materials and networking without feeling fake, to negotiating an offer and managing the emotional ups and downs of the first year on the job."

I'm an early career development expert, adjunct professor, and the author of Career B.L.I.S.S. My work is focused on helping people, especially first-generation college students and those from marginalized communities, navigate the often-confusing transition from college to career. I’m a big believer that everyone already has the unique strengths and experiences they need to succeed by the time they graduate from college—they just need a roadmap to connect those strengths to a fulfilling career and communicate their value to employers, which I call getting from jobless to job B.L.I.S.S..
In addition to writing and coaching, I partner with colleges, employers, and high schools by providing transformative career workshops. These workshops leverage my proven B.L.I.S.S. method and a culturally responsive approach built on Dr. Yosso's Community Cultural Wealth theory. This ensures students are equipped with the confidence and tools to successfully transition into careers. My work has been featured in FOX 5, Washington Times, and Thrive Global.
