About

Hi! I’m

With more than a decade of experience as a Corporate Flight Attendant flying Part 91, 91K, and 135 Operations, I combine my knowledge of the business aviation industry with my professional experience in Higher Education Administration and my Master’s level educational background to create unique resumes that are more than attention grabbing.  Your resume will highlight your individual skills and expertise, speak the language of your industry (whatever that may be), and stand out as an elegant, professional, and modern portrayal of your career and experience.  I am uniquely suited to create resumes for the business aviation industry, having been a line Flight Attendant, FAA Certified Flight Attendant Instructor, and a contract Corporate Flight Attendant.  My understanding of the job duties, high-level clientele, and the competitive market inform my writing and my passion for helping new Corporate Flight Attendants showcase their transferable skills.  Additionally, I write resumes across multiple industries to include sales, operations, oil & gas, education, law, healthcare, and more. I love working with college students preparing their first resume for internships, graduation, and additional post-secondary education.  

As a former flight attendant, I love traveling, hosting friends and serving (and eating!) fancy hors d’oeuvres. Aviation is the family business.  I grew up as the daughter of a naval aviator turned corporate Gulfstream pilot, and having the chance to see the world crewed with my father was an amazing experience. Now, I’m married to a major airline captain and after stints in southern Arizona, the Northeast, and The Woodlands, TX; we are now raising our family in the Kansas City area and truly connecting with the amazing community here. I view resume writing as an extension of my former role in a high-level service industry, and I value the opportunity to get to know my clients in order to highlight their skills, and facilitate their transition into new opportunities.  I like to celebrate the wins and believe in working hard to achieve our common goal, making you sound “on paper” as good as you are professionally.

  • Kimberly did a wonderful job. She provided two services for me: She edited my book Go With Your Gut and she did great at helping me to organize the book, helping me to expand on ideas and bringing the content to life. We went through multiple edits and she was very timely and professional. She then redid my resume when I was working on going back into the workforce. I switched fields and she did fabulous on making my resume look wonderful, and highlighting my skills. She went the extra mile to make sure the social media pieces were not confusing and everything had clarity.

  • I have a long and varied career. I worked as a journalist abroad before transitioning into my current career as an expert on Latin America. Having lived and worked in various countries, my career milestones and unique skill was tough even for me to nail down.
