FREE CAREER WORKSHOP: Building a Portfolio That Gets You Noticed
Your portfolio is more than a collection of projects—it’s an opportunity to tell your story, showcase your strengths, and stand out to recruiters. In this practical session, you’ll learn how to present your best work, build a consistent personal brand across your portfolio, resume, and LinkedIn, and use AI to tailor your portfolio to specific opportunities. You’ll also receive live feedback through a hands-on portfolio review.

FREE WELLNESS WORKSHOP: Beyond Burnout
Burnout can leave people feeling emotionally drained, disconnected, and stuck in patterns that affect both work and life. In this workshop, we explore burnout through a trauma-informed and relational lens, offering practical tools to recognize depletion, rebuild emotional capacity, set sustainable boundaries, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance and well-being.
