Hi, I'm Emily.

I'm a Registered Dietitian with a master's in dietetics and 5+ years of experience in healthcare recruiting, onboarding, and health tech, where I've helped organizations hire and support physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, and Registered Dietitians.

I've spent years seeing the hiring process from the other side of the table — learning what makes candidates stand out, where qualified professionals get overlooked, and what employers are really looking for.

I'm also a mom, and becoming one changed the way I think about work, ambition, time, and success.

I created Held & Hired to bring both sides of that experience together: the real-world hiring expertise to help you get hired, and the personal support to help you figure out what you're actually looking for.

Clarity for where you're going. Strategy for how to get there. Support along the way.

Whether you're looking for a new role, considering a career change, returning to work, or simply wondering if there's something better out there, I'll help you turn the uncertainty into a plan.

Together, we can:

• Get clear on what you actually want from your career and what needs to change.

• Identify roles and career paths that align with your strengths, priorities, and life.

• Position you for the opportunities you want with a resume, LinkedIn presence, and personal brand that communicate your value.

• Navigate the job search strategically instead of applying endlessly and hoping something sticks.

• Prepare for interviews and conversations so you can show up with confidence.

• Approach offers, transitions, and next steps with clarity instead of second-guessing yourself.

You bring the experience. I'll help you see its value, communicate it clearly, and turn it into what's next.
