Carolyn Yoo

Hi! My name is Carolyn and I'm based in New York, NY. I'm a software engineer and artist with over 10 years of experience in the field. I last worked at Mailchimp on a team building the email editor, and have previously worked in education technology and e-commerce spaces.

I'd love to be your guide as you craft a values-driven career, providing accountability during interview preparation and portfolio project development. My mentorship style is a mix of active listening and reflection along with practical guidance and suggestions.

After starting my career in marketing, I pivoted to software engineering 10 years ago. Since then I've taught and mentored 50+ career changers through mentorship conversations and bootcamp preparation courses.

Here's what we'll work on together:
Clarity—understand your ideal dream life, your current perception of your identity, and how specific roles align with your bigger picture
Mindset—use practical psychology-based tools to overcome interview anxiety and build confidence in showcasing your portfolio work
Time Management and Execution—create structured timelines for promotion preparation, portfolio development, and interview practice while maintaining work-life balance

I look forward to meeting and working with you!
