Your Career Storyteller

You are more than your resume.

Tell your story. Change your life.

Welcome To Coaching

My name is Diana Andriola, your career storyteller.

I’ve been captivated by stories for as long as I can remember. It’s what drew me into studying neuroscience—the unfolding narrative of scientific discovery and the mysteries of the human brain. I was eager to explore this human frontier, and for years I pursued what I thought was my dream: a career as a researcher and teacher. But, like so many, I eventually hit a wall. Despite all my hard work and dedication, I felt stuck, trapped in a career that no longer inspired me.

I told myself, “I’ve spent 10 years and a lot of money earning a Ph.D. in science—how can I walk away now?” That familiar inner monologue of sunk costs” kept me tethered to a career that didn’t fulfill me. But one day, I realized something life-changing:

I didn’t owe it to anyone—not even myself—to stay in a career I didn’t love.

That realization led me to science communication, where I found real joy helping young people from underserved communities see themselves in science careers. I connected them with exciting science and inspiring scientists from diverse backgrounds, watching as they met role models who looked like them, spoke their language, and opened their eyes to new possibilities. These were moments of transformation, when their worlds expanded and they saw new possibilities for themselves.

As I reflected on my journey, I realized this is what has always lit me up: connecting people with the resources, opportunities, and belief that they can achieve their dreams. For years, friends, family, and colleagues turned to me for help with resumes, interviews, and the confidence to chase jobs they thought were out of reach. And I realized this—helping people unlock their potential and discover their true calling—is my purpose. I love the moment when I see in someone’s eyes that their world just got a little bigger.

I’ve worn many hats in my life—salesperson, cruise ship waiter, Uber driver, neuroscientist—but none of these titles define me. Just like your resume doesn’t define you. You are more than your resume, and your future holds more than you can imagine.

It’s my honor, joy, and mission to help you find the work that lights you up.

Let’s discover your purpose together.
