Meet Karen amatangelo-BLock

A certified professional coach, I bring over 20 years of industry experience and my values of authenticity and positivity to my practice.  I help you find your story and help you tell it. Using my knowledge of how to get hired and coaching training, together we prioritize what is meaningful to you and set an action plan, whether you are starting over or just starting out.  

I received a BA in political science from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. After a few years of law practice, I realized I wasn't in the right place career-wise.  I jumped at an opportunity to pivot from being a lawyer to a recruiting leader (I had second thoughts for sure!). That early career shift allowed me to find a passion for recognizing and promoting talent. Nearly 15 years later, I moved into international development staffing. My career path has included talent management, recruiting, and talent acquisition operations roles in law firms, consulting organizations, and most recently, a global hospitality company. I am also a working parent and community volunteer.  I am energized by fueling others successes but I make time to recharge, you'll often  might find me taking a long walk with my dog, or sneaking a lazy day reading out in the hammock!
