about us
With a shared passion to help individuals pursue their educational and career paths with self confidence, Dana and Mary partnered together in 2015 to create Aplomb Consultants. Together they bring over 35 years of experience and expertise to assist individuals and groups in navigating critical educational and career decisions.

My professional experience includes over two decades in management, corporate marketing and entrepreneurship in the film, beauty and fashion industries. In 2015, I chose to take a career pivot to apply my professional roles and industry knowledge with my passion to encourage others to discover their own career satisfaction.
I find fulfillment coaching my clients through a self discovery process focused on learning their natural abilities, strengths and interests and learning how to apply this valuable information towards successful educational and professional pathways.
