Ready to take the next step in your career?
I’m Semarley — Facebooker by day, career coach by night. I started coaching organically over the years, through helping friends and family. I have fallen in love with helping others move closer to their hopes and dreams and ultimately, themselves. We often put limits on ourselves and our capabilities, I work with clients to unlock their potential to remove the limitations that stand in the way of their success. Beyond helping my clients find their next job or boost engagement with their resumes, I partner with them to instill the courage and confidence they’ll need to build a career and life without limits.
I have 10+ years of tech experience at Google, Amazon, and Facebook in advertising, sales, marketing, AI, and program management. I hold a dual B.A. from Dartmouth College in Women’s and Gender Studies and Geography.

What people are saying
"I transitioned from startup to big tech and I found myself in a position that I had never had before - I had an opportunity to negotiate. Trust me when I say, Semarley was my career savior. She walked me through every step of the negotiation process, making sure I never lost sight of my real goals, asking the right questions, and most importantly, celebrating with me when I got my dream job plus 60% increase in compensation. I plan to keep working with her for the rest of my career because she is just a wealth of knowledge that no amount of money or effort can get you on your own. Whether you're a seasoned negotiator to just starting out in your career, do not take an extra moment to reach out to Semarley."

“During final negotiating rounds for my most recent role as an external hire, I was fortunate enough to connect with Semarley. The coaching time spent with Semarley significantly contributed to my willingness to ask additional questions in the leveling and compensation discussions. Our work together considerably increased my strength in negotiation and allowed me greater insight when navigating the overall compensation package structure. I was able to negotiate an $18K increase in my signing bonus prior to signing my final offer. I recommend working with Semarley if you are interested realizing the upside potential of taking the next step in your career.”

“Semarley has fundamentally shifted my approach to work/life balance, and was instrumental in securing the role that has allowed me to pursue my passions professionally and personally. When I met Semarley, I was underpaid, under utilized, and highly unmotivated in my work. Through the course of a few conversations, she was able to expertly hone in on my unique set of skills and direct me toward a role that could be a much better fit for my interests. Not only did she persistently encourage me to apply when I wasn't sure I qualified for the position, but she also took the time to edit my resume line by line, and coach me through mock interviews through every step of the process. Though it was a drawn out endeavor, Semarley was incredibly patient and generous with her time, and ultimately, was the key to me successfully landing the role!”
