Who it's for

For the woman who's done being overlooked.

Mid-career, corporate

You've built a real career, ten to twenty years in. You've earned the seat, you're just not being paid your worth or promoted like it.

Ready for the next role

You know it's time. A bigger title, better comp, or a real pivot. What you don't have is a system to actually land it.

Playing to win

You're not here to tweak your resume. You want a strategy so the next opportunity, and the one after that, comes to you.

What you get

A complete system, not another course you'll never finish.

ATS Optimized Resume

A full resume rebuild designed to pass applicant tracking systems and grab a recruiter's attention in the first six seconds. Built around your next role, not a copy paste of your last one.

Recruiter Ready LinkedIn

Your headline, About section, and experience rewritten to position you for the job you want next. Optimized so recruiters find you before you even apply.

Interview Story Bank

Your best career wins, structured into ready to use stories for any interview question. No more scrambling to remember your accomplishments under pressure.

Mock Interviews

Real practice interviews with direct feedback, so you walk in prepared instead of guessing. Built around the actual questions you'll face for your target role.

100 Applications, Done For You

We handle up to 100 job applications on your behalf, so your time goes toward networking and interview prep instead of job boards.

Career Strategy & Positioning

A customized plan that builds your reputation as the go to person in your industry, so your next opportunity starts coming to you.

Meet Melonie

I've fought for my seat at the table.

I spent years studying that moves the needle when it comes to your career, and it isn't a passive approach. Maybe it used to be, but not anymore.

Career Strategy Lab was created to support mid-career women in corporate in their career journey. It's for those who have put in the work, but the ROI isn't happening. My goal is help as many women as possible, and I want to help you.

My clients don't just get hired. They stop applying and start being pursued.

These past few months have helped me hold my head a little higher and take command of rooms I once thought I was too small to be in. Melonie has an incredible gift for bringing out the best in people, no matter where they are in their careers. And it's not just the invaluable guidance she offers that sets her apart from the rest, but in how deeply she cares.

Melonie is the career strategist I wish I’d found earlier. She brings a rare combination of sharp strategic thinking and a genuine understanding of what it’s like to be a woman building a career in tech — the invisible hurdles, the unwritten rules, the moments where you second-guess yourself when you shouldn’t. Her approach is direct, practical, and deeply human. If you’re looking for someone who will help you cut through the noise and move with confidence, she’s the person to work with.

From refining my LinkedIn profile to thinking more intentionally about my long-term career goals, every suggestion was thoughtful, actionable, and tailored to my situation. She has a remarkable ability to connect the dots, organize complex ideas, and help you make meaningful progress without making the process feel daunting. If you’re looking for someone who can help you cut through the noise, uncover opportunities you may be missing, and build a career plan that’s both strategic and achievable, Mel’s your gal!!
