Career Coaching + Mentorship
Career Coaching for Students and Emerging Professionals
Starting a career in public relations, marketing, communications, or a related field can feel exciting and uncertain at the same time.
Madeira Public Relations provides structured career coaching and mentorship for college students and young professionals who are preparing for internships, searching for their first job, or navigating the early years of the workforce.
​
We help emerging professionals strengthen their resumes, prepare for interviews, build meaningful experience, and understand how to move from college into the working world with confidence.
​​
Support for the transition from college to career
The path from college to the workforce isn’t always clear.
​
Students may know they’re interested in public relations, marketing, communications, nonprofit work, health communications, public affairs, or a related field, but they may not know how to turn that interest into a strong application or a realistic career plan.
​
Madeira helps students identify the experience they need before graduation, including internships, campus leadership, portfolio samples, volunteer work, and networking opportunities that can make them more competitive applicants.
Coaching for young professionals
The first few years of work can bring new questions.
​
How do you prepare for the next role? How do you navigate workplace expectations? What should you do when a job doesn’t feel like the right fit? How do you ask better questions, build confidence, manage pressure, and find work that connects to a deeper sense of purpose?
​
Madeira provides guidance for young professionals who are in their first five years of work and want support as they build a career with more direction and intention.

Career coaching led by an accredited executive
Coaching is led by a public relations and marketing executive with more than two decades of experience across agency work, in-house communications, and independent consulting.
That experience includes media relations, strategic communications, nonprofit and health care marketing, public affairs, executive counsel, and leadership of an independent consulting practice.
The coach also has specialized training in youth crisis counseling and understands the pressures facing students, soon-to-be graduates, and young professionals. This service isn’t therapy or mental health counseling. It’s career coaching from someone who knows the industry and cares about helping emerging professionals start well.
