Behind the Game Plan
Every great team has a coach who believes in them before they believe in themselves. That's the role I'm here to play.
With 15+ years in learning, HR, and leadership development, I help professionals build purposeful careers by aligning their strengths with the right opportunities.
I've spent my career helping organizations grow their people — designing programs, developing leaders, and connecting individual strengths to business goals. Along the way, I kept seeing the same thing: talented professionals who didn't know how to advocate for themselves, position their experience, or make their next move with confidence. That's what Career Game Plan is built to fix.
As the founder of Career Game Plan, I bring everything I've learned across 15+ years in HR and talent development directly to you. I hold degrees from St. Mary's University and Texas A&M, along with advanced HR and coaching certifications — but more importantly, I've sat on both sides of the table. I know what hiring managers are looking for, and I know how to help you deliver it.
Outside of work, I'm a mom to twin boys, a baseball coach, and a proud volunteer with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Baseball isn't just a metaphor for me — it's part of my life. And just like on the field, I believe every player deserves a coach who sees their potential and helps them step up to the plate.
An Athlete First. A Coach Always.
Before the coaching certifications and the HR career, there was the diamond. As a collegiate softball player at St. Mary's University, Sarah learned the fundamentals that still drive her coaching today — preparation, resilience, and the belief that every player has more in them than they realize.
That competitive mindset didn't stay on the field. It followed her into every boardroom, every coaching session, and every career conversation she's had since. The game just changed — the approach didn't.

My Coaching Philosophy
Baseball taught me everything I know about careers.
Know Your Strengths
You can't play every position. The best players know exactly what they bring to the field — and so do the best job seekers.
Practice Your Swing
Interviews aren't won on game day — they're won in the batting cage. Preparation is everything.
Read the Field
Understanding the job market, your industry, and the hiring manager's perspective gives you a decisive edge.
Execute When It Counts
All the prep in the world means nothing if you can't perform under pressure. I'll make sure you're ready.
The Rulebook
Honesty Over Hype
I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Real feedback is how you get better.
Personalized, Not Generic
No cookie-cutter templates. Every game plan is built around your specific goals, strengths, and situation.
Results-Focused
I measure success by your outcomes — offers received, promotions earned, confidence gained.
