Dr. Deborah Bogert, PhD in Educational Psychology · 18+ years inside educational institutions and nonprofits.
You've done the hard part already. The degree, the experience, the move. What's not working is how your background reads to U.S. employers. I help you translate your credentials into signals hiring managers recognize, rebuild your resume and LinkedIn, and prepare you for the rooms where decisions get made.
Read about career coaching →You know what you want your students to become. The harder question is where you actually are. Departments each understand their own piece, but nobody holds the whole. I help you read your data and your rooms, build a shared language, and turn what you measure into a strategy you can act on.
Read about institutional consulting →Deborah worked with me to strengthen my profile as an MBA candidate in today's competitive job market. Her insights have meaningfully shaped how I present myself professionally and how I approach opportunities as an international student. She helped me gain clarity on what organizations are truly looking for, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as a mentor during my internship recruitment.
Deborah listened and addressed my concerns by creating strategies and goals on what to focus on during my job search. She was attentive, communicative, and supportive during the entire process. Thanks to her help, I was able to network with folks in similar fields and set goals for myself for my next role. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs help with their job search in today's market!
I believe your expertise already counts. The degree, the years, the work you did before you got here. The problem was never whether it's real. It's that the people who need to see it can't read it yet.
That's what I do. I translate.
For internationally trained professionals, that means turning hard-won experience into signals U.S. employers recognize. For schools and institutions, it means turning scattered data into a story leaders can see, say, and act on. Same work, two rooms.
What if the gap between where you are and where you want to be turned out to be smaller, and far more specific, than it's felt? Not a flaw to fix in yourself or your institution. A reading to correct.
That's the whole idea. Find where the value is getting lost, name it plainly, and build the path from there. It works because it's built on your actual situation, not a template.
You might be a professional whose resume keeps disappearing into silence. You might lead an institution that knows its mission but not whether it's landing. Or maybe you're just curious what it's like to work with me.
Whatever brought you here, welcome!
