I used Teresa's services twice; she made the effort to understand my personal situation and craft solutions and suggestions specifically for me. She was willing to ask tough questions and probe for deeper causes & reasonings. She also was very empathetic and easy to talk to. Would recommend to others. read more

This is a long overdue review for Teresa. In short, yes, absolutely, if you're feeling burned out, confused, and unhappy about your job, please talk to her! I found Theresa randomly from an event on Yelp and I am glad I did. Last year, I paid around $800 for her Career Fulfillment Program with the Career Clarity Course. It looks like she has since revamped this program and doubled the price and added more coaching sessions--probably due to inflation and the current job market--but I would still recommend her services hands down with no reservation. For comparison, I had ran into a random internet career/life coach on social media a few months prior and that coach wanted to charge me $10,000 to help me find a new career in a completely different industry, supposedly without having to sacrifice pay. That felt unrealistic and scammy. Compared to scammy social media coach, Teresa's prices are reasonable and a great value and her program delivers results. Personally, I did not need help from Teresa with resume writing or interviewing. I was just feeling confused about whether my current career path was right for me and needed direction. I was considering a career change and was ready to throw away the career I had worked on for the past 8 years because I was so unhappy at my job. I felt so lost. Teresa's Career Clarity Course helped me do some soul searching and gave me areas to look into to figure out where my strengths, passions, and job priorities were. Finishing her course gave me a sense of direction and confidence for the next steps to take to find a fulfilling career. During the course, I was exploring new careers such as food vlogger/Youtuber, an entrepreneur owning a boba shop, or maybe go back to school to become a psychologist. Teresa gave me advice on how to research what these careers would look like or how to try them out without throwing away my current career and taking too long to figure it out. At the end, I realized I loved making money too much. While I believed I would succeed in a new career, it would take too much time to completely start over, so I was going to stay in my current field in tech. However, getting the idea from the personality test she had me take, I was able to do some research on Reddit and found a more niche role in my industry that was more suited for people with my exact personality type. I felt excited to try out this new role, because at least 3 others with my personality type, reported in Reddit forums that they loved it, so it gave me hope. The program was only supposed to last 3 months but as I was doing the program, my mental health got progressively worse from burn out at the dead end job. I eventually had to quit because I was so unwell and couldn't work anymore even after taking medical leave. Teresa graciously extended my program access for another 2 months free of charge and she and I met for one final coaching session where she gave me advice on how I could sell my translatable skills to pivot into this new role. Pivoting into a new but related role was a difficult task given the recent competitive job market and I got rejected a bunch of times at various stages, but I was on a mission to make sure I did not end up in a similar role as my last job and insisted on it after completing Teresa's program. It took 4 months for me to recover mentally and to find my current job but I am pleased to say I ended up at an excellent company with the exact role I was going for after some patience, perseverance, and luck. I've been at this new job for over a month now and I am very happy and I actually wake up looking forward to work! This rarely happened in the last 8 years. In addition to finding out a career direction, I also found out from the program that one of my passions was "creating and sharing experiences together". I have since used that discovery to encourage myself to start various social groups centered around my hobbies and have made new friends from it. I shared a story about creating experiences during my job interview and it played a part in my getting hired because the joy from following my passions really showed. I demonstrated the best parts of my personality and it just so happened to align with the company's cultural values. Teresa's program is life changing and it improved my life both personally and professionally. I am amazed at how insightful and intuitive she is. I really think she's found her tailor-made career for herself because career coaching is what she's meant to do. I am sure Teresa can help you, too! read more

I really appreciated - and learned a lot from - the PathUp Career process. Thank you for this practical, clear and effective coaching, which skillfully navigated me from my basic likes and strengths to an understanding of what I'd actually enjoy doing with them, and what types of careers would make the most of the assets I bring to the table. I've worked through other coaching programs that promised clarity on career goals, strengths and options, but which left me feeling that I was just looking at the same old options from the same old perspective. PathUp is a gentle but thorough program that was much more effective at walking me gingerly past long-held assumptions and mental blocks to a better understanding of my preferences, strengths and real-world options. I came out of the process with a sense of career clarity and hope I hadn't felt in years. read more

I can't recommend working with Teresa enough! She is insightful, patient, attentive, and incredibly supportive. Her program is thoughtful and well-structured. Working with Teresa over the course of the past 3 months has enabled me to connect with my skills, discover my passions, and uncover parts of myself previously unknown. I feel empowered to pursue my career goals. It is exciting to have defined a path that I am confident I can achieve. She has also introduced me to new tools and approaches that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. I am so glad I invested in myself and will always be so grateful to her for being such a supportive partner. read more

After moving to a new city and working for a couple of years as a developer, I wanted to start looking for a fully remote job where the company was more aligned with my values. This flexibility was especially important to me due to the uncertainty of COVID. I had worked with Teresa in the past and decided to use her services again to help me with this new job search. She listened to my concerns, kept me accountable and organized, and we did multiple mock interviews together to help me prepare. This was extremely helpful given that I was juggling multiple interviews while working at my current job. It eventually came down to 2 companies I liked, where I did several 2nd round interviews and final round interviews. When I finally received the offer letter, Teresa helped me navigate how to negotiate my salary. Fast forward--I, not only hit my target salary goal with Teresa's help, but I now work 100% remotely for a health tech company that's more aligned to my values and I'm loving this new-found flexibility! Mind you, all of this during a pandemic! I'm so glad I decided to utilize Teresa's services again as it made all the difference to have someone knowledgeable like her to help guide me during this stressful job search. Thank you again! read more

Absolutely amazing! All the help Teresa gave me--resume, interviewing, negotiation--helped me land a new job! I was in a very unhappy position, but hadn't written a resume in 15 years. I desperately needed Teresa's help. She's personal, supportive, responsive, and doesn't find any question foolish. The tools I was provided were exactly what I needed. I would NOT have this new position if not for Teresa's assistance! I cannot recommend her any higher. read more

I did a 20 min. consultation with Teresa and I took full advantage of Teresa's time. Within such a short time, she was able to give me really precise and concrete action steps to take for me to pivot to a new career in the future. I had abstract questions (because I wasn't changing careers yet but prepping for down the road) and she actually told me now is the perfect time to research - when you are not actually needing to change jobs. It opened my eyes to the new opportunities. Teresa was highly professional and efficient and I really appreciated all her advice and guidance. It was only 20 mins but it was SO valuable!! read more

This review is long overdue. After working with Teresa, I anticipated gradual changes aligned with my long-term goals over 5 years (a timeline I had set for myself). However, thanks to the tools and reflection exercises she provided, my life improved significantly from 0 to 100. I've transitioned onto a fulfilling career path, exploring non-linear opportunities within the same industry. Teresa's guidance helped me recognize my strengths, values, and weaknesses, enabling me to overcome personal obstacles and embrace a limitless perspective on life. Each session empowered me to establish boundaries, becoming more of an essentialist, enhancing efficiency in my career and creating space for joy in my life. My career has flourished both in terms of time management and finances, thanks to Teresa's support in compartmentalizing my life. I'm immensely grateful for her assistance and would wholeheartedly recommend PathUp to anyone committed to self-improvement. Words cannot express my gratitude for the transformative impact PathUp has had on my life over the past 8 months! read more

Teresa was a wonderful partner in demystifying the job search process. She provided tangible guidance that empowered me to figure out my own next steps in my career journey, from valuable feedback on my resume to helping me come up with my "non-negotiables" for my next position. Along with Teresa's expertise in navigating career transitions, her patience, listening skills, and warmth stand out most for me, and I can say with certainty that I feel much more confident looking for my next position. Thank you, Teresa! read more

My experience working with Teresa was amazing! I recently immigrated from Japan due to marriage, and I needed help to figure out my new career in the U.S. Before working with Teresa, I felt very insecure and scared about building my career in the U.S. However, her coaching sessions helped me have confidence again. She asked the important questions that I was either afraid to ask or had no idea they were important. Her questions helped me to figure out what I want for my career. She also helped me put together a future plan to carry out the goal we set during the program. I highly recommend her service! Thank you, Teresa, for your help!! read more

I worked with Teresa a few years ago when looking for a new job. This time, I'm reconsidering the direction of my career and thinking about making a transition that would make me happier, so I hired Teresa as my career coach again. In our sessions, she helped provide clarity on what career path to choose. Throughout the last couple of months, Teresa picked up on my strengths and weaknesses, and helped me recognize my unique traits. Her ability to understand me, as a person, and beyond my paper resume is what I really valued. She is able to read between the lines to see what I truly enjoyed doing and bridge that with something that is a practical fit. Knowing myself better helps give me greater confidence on pursuing a more suitable career path for me; but, more importantly, how to identify where I fit. Thank you, Teresa! read more

I had a really wonderful time working with Teresa. She gave me very specific and concrete instructions on resume building, job hunting, and interviewing. I'm going into my job search with a lot more confidence, which I really needed! Thanks, Teresa! read more

I've been working with Teresa for about a year now and she has been an excellent career coach and mentor who has guided me on career advancement, resume building, and LinkedIn updates. Our sessions are productive, and I always walk away with new tools, knowledge and challenges I can apply to my current role as well as steps I can take to further my career. She goes out of her way to make time for her clients, and I appreciate her timely responses whenever I have questions. I plan on working with Teresa long term to help navigate me through industry changes and future opportunities. I highly recommend PathUp if you are looking for a Career Coach who can help you build your confidence and / or if you need career advice in your job search or career advancement opportunities. read more

Teresa is fantastic!  I was preparing for a couple of job interviews and was interested in working on my interview skills. I was extremely nervous about sharing my weaknesses when it came to interviewing but Teresa was very encouraging and helped put my nerves at ease. I ended up doing pretty well in both interviews I was prepping for. Great news, I was offered a promotion with my current job after doing well in the interview process and was offered substantially more (25k+) than what I had been so everything turned out better than I'd hope. I want to thank Teresa again for her help with my resume, interview prep and for just easing my nerves. read more

Teresa is an excellent coach! She has a deep intuitive sense of what's going on and hears what's being unsaid. I came to Teresa for more clarity on the direction of my career. She is approachable, empathetic, and knows how to ask the right questions to help me draw my own conclusions. I felt safe and seen with Teresa and most importantly, gained insight and a concrete action plan to approach situations at work and in my career. I highly recommend anyone who is unsure about their career or looking for strategies to handle work situations reach out to Teresa. She truly wants the best for you and is not afraid to nudge you to make a change in your life. Thanks Teresa! read more

I was nervous about signing up for Career Coaching but after my consultation with Teresa, I felt at ease. She has a special gift of hearing the words you're not directly saying and making sense of your unique situation. I signed up for the "Career Fulfillment" program that included an online course called "Career Clarity" and (3) 1:1 sessions with Teresa. This was the best combo for me and the 1:1 sessions were so valuable! I appreciated the holistic approach to career coaching and her understanding that several other aspects of your life and your career go hand and hand. I can't say enough good things about Teresa & PathUp. Thank you a million! read more

I hired Teresa to help me with my performance evaluation coming up at work. I wanted to make sure I was on track to be promoted. Teresa helped me craft my story around my strengths and the work that I did in the past year at my company. She asked questions that helped me recall important projects and worked with me to highlight the impact I've had on my team. Teresa also provided great advice about what to prepare and what to bring to the performance evaluation with my director. She gave ideas about what I could do to continue making good progress at work so that I can stand out for my promotion. I'm happy to report that the conversation with my director went very well and I am on track to being promoted! I have tools and insight about what I need to do in my career as I look to grow at the company. read more

I was able to get connected to Teresa via a networking event and I am so glad I did! Teresa gave amazing resume tips all the way around! From structuring my template in ways that will better catch recruiters eyes, to really highlighting my strong suits within my summary to give the ultimate elevator pitch, Teresa was able to assist with it all! While our time together was short, I learned so much and look forward to seeing the impact her suggestions have made in future job searches! Thank you Teresa and PathUp! read more

100% would recommend. I am still amazed at how much knowledge and actionable feedback Teresa shared with me during our very brief call together - emphasis on the actionable. If you are struggling at all in trying to figure out what your next step should be, I recommend working with a career coach; they can share the extensive knowledge they have or simply act as a sounding board. I left the call feeling much more confident in how to continue my career search. She also shared resources that will help me continue moving forward. read more

Teresa was great at being responsive right at the time I needed it. We prepped, mock interviewed and I ended up getting the job!! Thanks for all the practice and specialized pointers! Your aid was very valuable and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for career guidance. Cheers Teresa! read more

Teresa is absolutely amazing! I could not recommend her enough. I signed up for the PathUp Career Clarity program and so thankful I did. I had recently started a new career and was lacking confidence in my ability to bring anything valuable to my team. Teresa's workbook program and 1:1 sessions shifted my perspective and helped me work through my saboteur thoughts. She shared a perspective I hadn't considered and encouraged me to take new initiatives in areas I was reluctant to. After working on these initiatives I gained confidence in my value and impact I have contributed to my team. Not only have I gained more confidence professionally but also personally. I am extremely grateful for my work with Teresa! read more

Love how Teresa gave actionable takeaways. I left the session with a clear understanding on my next steps.

Teresa was an excellent mentor in creating a great career profile. I took 6 meeting pack, and with it, went over cover letters, resumes, and general career tips in terms of finding a job, and how to make myself stand out more. I feel a lot better with my cover letter and resume because of her help read more

I highly recommend working with Teresa! After 20+ years of working for the same company, I left my position and began my search for a new job. It's been daunting trying to get up to speed on all the changes that have taken place since the last time I applied for jobs. I worked with a few different career coaches and read numerous resume and cover letter tips but wasn't seeing results. Teresa at PathUp worked with my daughter about a year ago, and she landed a great job (closer to home, more time off, and a higher salary). I decided to turn to Teresa for help. I improved my resume, cover letter, and interviewing skills with Teresa's guidance and finally landed my first interview after several months of applying for jobs. I am much more confident going forward, and it's all thanks to Teresa! read more

Teresa is a beautiful soul who's full of kindness and empathy. In life, everybody's got stuff they need to work through. Teresa helped me dig deeper to discover the roots of my discontent. It was at this moment, eyes welled up with tears, I was able to see the bigger picture. This helped me come to grips with my true wants and needs, which ultimately helped me gain career clarity. I will always have a special place in my heart for Teresa. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Teresa. I was applying to internship roles and getting interviews but not closing with any offers. I had applied to over 200 places - 137 with cover letters. My interview skills needed some work. At this point, I was feeling pretty stuck in my internship search. I had two sessions and felt energized to keep on applying and doing my best in the next interview. In each session, I knew what to expect and liked that we wrote notes throughout the session. Teresa gave me plenty of feedback. I walked away with stories that I did not know that I had. In the end, I got the role and industry that I wanted to be in. Thanks Teresa! read more

Teresa was super helpful in asking the right questions and leading me down a path of my own self discovery. She was kind, reliable, and happy to help. I know there's a lot of options out there, and if you're reading this, I recommend choosing PathUp. read more

After participating in PathUp's Job Search Strategy program, I highly recommend Teresa as a knowledgeable, insightful, and empathetic career coach. From our initial consultation and throughout the 3-session program, she listened attentively and empathetically, and asked follow-up questions in order to gain a thorough understanding of my background and current situation. From there, she was able to identify specific areas of my job search that she thought could use improvement, and focused our work on those areas to make the best use of our working sessions. In addition to her strategic recommendations, she also provided detailed reference materials for further reading and use in updating my resume, cover letter, and job search strategy. I most appreciated that Teresa framed all of her recommendations and strategies in the context of my individual situation, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. After working with Teresa, I've gained a completely new lens for how I approach my resume and job application strategy, and feel much more confident about how I'm presenting myself to potential employers. read more

Teresa is AMAZING. She was an integral part of my interview preparation process and contributed directly to my success. I decided to shift my career from finance to technology. I have been working in finance for most of my professional career and I lacked extensive interview experience. Teresa helped me discover my strengths and craft my pitch/story based on my experience. Her coaching sessions gave me the confidence to perform well during my interview rounds. Her approach and style of coaching enabled me to achieve success. I was offered the job I was prepping for and couldn't have done it without Teresa! read more

I've been on my current career path for over a decade and was looking to pivot into something that spoke more to my innate purpose. However, I wanted to leverage and blend my existing skills into this next chapter so I wouldn't have to forfeit so much hard-earned experience or start from scratch. I recently finished PathUp's Career Clarity online course and have been able to figure out a new direction for my career, which I'm genuinely excited about! The course helped me realize what I wanted to do and had actionable steps to help me narrow down to a practical path. I would highly recommend Teresa's services to someone trying to figure out their path as a new professional or someone looking to change things up. Teresa is also extremely committed to her clients and it is evident she loves what she does! read more

Working with Teresa at PathUp was such a pleasant experience! I needed a last-minute 1:1 coaching session for a phone interview for this senior graphic designer position and she made herself available to help coach me. We did a mock interview on the phone and I struggled for a while trying to answer questions effectively. By the end of it, I felt really comfortable and she helped guide me in the right direction. I had my actual phone interview a few days later, so I practiced in a few places where I needed the work. I ended up nailing the phone interview and moved onto the final round. If it wasn't for Teresa I know I would have never passed the phone interview with flying colors. She gave me the confidence to talk about myself in the right way, what type of stories to tell, and the right way to tell them. read more

I've had a great experience with Teresa! She gave me awesome career-advancing tips and is very knowledgeable in various topics that I brought up during our meetings. I would recommend anyone thinking about receiving coaching to connect with Teresa. read more

I contacted Teresa when I wanted to change careers but I had no idea how. I'm glad I did, because she really helped me sharpen my focus and gave me the kick in the pants I needed to succeed. Her interview coaching was perfect and I ended up breezing through 5 interviews and getting a new job in exactly the field I wanted with a 50% bump in pay! Thanks Teresa! read more

Teresa is a fantastic coach! She really cares about seeing you succeed. She's responsive and insightful when it comes to what you actually want in a career and she has out of the box ideas about how you can go about your career goals. Teresa has this intuitive gift to clearly see what her clients are actually thinking and she isn't afraid to challenge you when you most need it. She also doesn't waste your time and is very efficient in meetings. Most importantly, her personalized coaching provided me with the tools to succeed in my career in the future. I felt Teresa genuinely cared about me and I always felt empowered after our meetings. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help in their career! If I need any career help in the future, you can bet I'll be back! read more

I enjoyed my time speaking with Teresa. I came out feeling only a bit more prepared than when I began our sessions. I feel like it is my fault, as I probably purchased the wrong package; I am looking to leave jobs as soon as possible and purchasing the most expensive package was not the best fit for me at this time. I want to give a fair review, and I know this was my fault, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed since this was a lot of money. read more

Teresa was an immense help! She helped me prepare for a Technical AM role at one of the FAANG companies. Teresa helped me refine and hone in on my behavioral interview skills to allow me to better tell my career story. I felt extremely confident walking into the grueling interview rounds. She also helped me clean up my resume template. I would highly recommend Teresa to anyone looking to break through in tech, and really tailor their interview skills to the style that FAANG hiring managers are looking for. Thanks Teresa! read more

Teresa is a great listener and she helped me navigate my thoughts. The program was really helpful to my career search process!

I cannot recommend PathUp highly enough! Teresa is an amazing career coach and has come up with an excellent program that really works! I completely trusted Teresa and the career coaching process and I'm SO glad that I did. She helped me identify a new career path that I feel excited about and helped me find the confidence to move forward. One of the best things I've ever done for myself! read more

Teresa has really helped me focus my career path and re-define what a career looks like for me. In addition to learning tools for a stronger approach to job searching, she helped me to define the relationship between "work" and "life" and address assumptions and values I was holding on to that were not my own. I recommend Teresa to all my friends and family and to anyone who is even slightly unsure of their path forward in life. I only wish I had been able to work with Teresa earlier in my career journey. read more

Teresa at PathUp is very sharp and on point. She gives you a clear direction to reach your career goals. She is professional and top notch!
