Most students spend years building their resume and far less time learning how to talk about who they are.
Spotlight begins with a professionally guided coaching conversation that helps students identify their strengths, clarify what matters to them, and put words to who they are becoming.
Then we capture that clarity in a polished interview and video clips they can use for applications, introductions, outreach, LinkedIn, and future opportunities.
From a Recent Spotlight
"I honestly never expected to have an interview that would formally introduce me and let me talk about myself in a way I could actually share with colleges and internships."
-Cesar Buendia

Why I Created Spotlight
For more than 10 years, I’ve worked with young people as they figure out who they are, what matters to them, and how to talk about themselves with confidence.
I’ve coached high school, college, and graduate students at Rice, West Point, and beyond. And I’ve seen the same thing again and again: thoughtful, capable students often have plenty to say, but they haven’t had many opportunities to slow down, reflect, and put those thoughts into words.
Parents invest a great deal in academics, activities, and preparing for what comes next. But when a student is asked, “Tell me about yourself,” it can be surprisingly hard to know where to begin.
That’s why I created Spotlight.
Spotlight is a professionally guided conversation that helps students recognize their strengths, think more clearly about what matters to them, and learn how to talk about themselves in a way that feels natural—not rehearsed.
The goal isn’t a perfect answer. It’s helping students understand themselves well enough to be clearly understood by others.
They leave more confident in what they have to say—and with something credible that helps other people understand and remember them.
