Most engineers spend years trying to figure out what you'll learn in only 6 months.   

It’s the kind of guidance most people never receive—and the reason they never break through.

Some of the areas I’ve helped others with include:

• Getting clear on career goals and creating a plan to achieve them
• Staying focused on your path when everyone else is pushing you toward a “real job”
• Making real, meaningful connections—not spamming people or sending cold DMs
• Building a network strategically (without feeling awkard or pushy)
• How to get a gig, keep the gig, and make yourself so valuable you get hired again and again
• Identifying where and how to improve your technical and interpersonal skills
• Preparing properly for a gig—and what to do when you’re not fully prepared
• Troubleshooting technical problems under pressure
• Breaking into the touring world and understanding tour protocols
• Communicating with clarity and confidence on gigs
• Not just surviving—but thriving—on the road
• Setting up your life for touring, traveling, and living out of a suitcase
• The business side of being a freelance engineer
• Determining your worth: setting your rate and negotiating confidently
• Knowing how to evaluate whether a gig is right for you
• Deciding between multiple offers and navigating professional opportunities
• Planning for the things most people ignore until it’s too late: health insurance, retirement, and life after touring
• Dealing with discrimination, sexism, and harassment—and how to protect yourself while staying professional

…and much more.

"For me, Michelle has been at the end of a phone, email or text…whether I had a technical question or more often struggled with the business or lifestyle side of things.  She was always able to calm my thoughts, give great advice, or point me to the right direction because from experience, she knew exactly what I was going through."
