About

Many talented professionals miss out on opportunities—not because they lack skills, but because they struggle to communicate their value effectively. That's where I help. I am an Academician, Career Coach, and Founder of ElevateU360, dedicated to helping students and professionals build confidence, enhance their professional presence, and position themselves for career success. With 15+ years of experience spanning HR, Management, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Corporate Training, and industry exposure at TCS, I bring a practical, people-centric, and results-oriented approach to career development. I help individuals: ✔ Craft ATS-friendly, impactful resumes ✔ Prepare confidently for interviews ✔ Build a strong LinkedIn presence and personal brand ✔ Strengthen communication and behavioral skills ✔ Increase career visibility and professional credibility Over the years, I have guided students, working professionals, and career transition candidates across diverse industries, helping them gain clarity, improve their professional positioning, and unlock new career opportunities. My approach goes beyond resume reviews and interview coaching. I focus on identifying individual strengths, aligning them with career goals, and creating a strategy that supports long-term professional growth. In addition to career coaching, I serve as an Assistant Professor, Researcher, and Leadership Development Professional, contributing to academic research, behavioral training, and talent development initiatives. I believe career growth is not just about qualifications—it is about confidence, clarity, communication, and the ability to showcase your value effectively. I am open to career coaching engagements, workshops, speaking opportunities, academic collaborations, and professional networking.
