EDUCATORS RAISE
Leave teaching and build a career where you have more money, more impact, and WAY more freedom.
No new degree required.
You didn't go into education to be overworked and undervalued. You went into it to make a difference. You still want that. But you're exhausted, underpaid, and running on fumes for a system that refuses to change. You shouldn't have to choose between work that matters and your own wellbeing. Your experience is worth more than education ever paid you for it.
I have been exactly where you are.
Whether you're just starting to explore your options or you've been actively applying with little or no traction, we'll identify what's getting in the way and whether my support is the right fit to move you forward.
I've helped teachers and administrators land roles at Harvard, Airbnb, and beyond, with salary increases of 24% or more. Are you next?
The Results Speak for Themselves.
“Her coaching gave me the structure and confidence I needed to approach my job search differently. I landed a new role with a 24% salary increase and feel genuinely aligned with where I'm going next.”
Jacky R.
“She helped me recognize that the skills I developed as an educator could create a positive impact beyond the classroom. Her interview prep and guidance helped me land a role in Finance as a Community Impact Officer that I genuinely love.”
Lauren W.
“I landed six interviews and accepted a full-time Lead Instructional Designer position with an EdTech company. But the greatest gift she gave me was a process I can use for the rest of my career.”
AJ P.
More from educators who made the leap.
“She guided me through exercises that helped me identify my strengths, build confidence, and translate my skills as an educator. The tools she provided attracted numerous recruiters and helped me land a fully remote job as a Learning Experience Designer in nonprofit. I knew she would play a pivotal role in whether I found a job in three months or a year.”
Jessica C.
“She helped me get clear on what I wanted, taught me how to talk about my experience with confidence, and encouraged me to build relationships across the industry along the way. Culminating in a Curriculum Manager role that's remote, pays better, and lets me keep making an impact in education in a way that finally feels sustainable.”
Caitlynn B.
“With her guidance, I gained clarity, rebranded my résumé and LinkedIn, and strengthened my networking & interviewing skills. As a result, I secured six interviews and received two job offers in union advocacy. Her holistic approach and genuine care gave me the clarity and confidence I needed.”
Jennifer K.
“Thanks to her guidance, I landed a job outside of education, which is something I thought I could never do. I now work for Feed More, a proud member of Feeding America, a nonprofit that helps strike hunger throughout the nation. I am still doing meaningful, impactful, and life changing work, just in a different way!”
Julia F.
“When I got my offer, she was so helpful through the negotiation phase. Her tips were so clear, simple, and effective. I got a raise in my base salary!”
Sumitra T.
“I landed a hybrid administrative coordinator role that will be very fulfilling for me. I can’t say enough about her encouragement, support, and the confidence she gave me to succeed.”

Hello, I'm Carissa
I spent nearly two decades as a teacher and administrator leading system-level work in education. Like a lot of passionate educators, I ran into bureaucracy and burned out. So I left, and built a career by design.
Now I help transitioning educators do the same, in a fraction of the time it takes most in this market. As a certified career coach, former hiring manager, and mindfulness educator, I know what actually gets people hired and how to get you there without burning out along the way.
Where our clients have landed
and more
You're one conversation away from a career that won't leave you overworked, underpaid, and burned out.
Important: This call is for those who are ready and able to invest in strategic support for their career change. If that is not where you are, please start with my free and lower cost resources instead of booking.
