Career Coach | Corporate Marketing Leader | IACC Certified
Hi, I’m Audrey Holmes — a career coach and corporate marketing leader based in Tampa, Florida.
I help students and early-career professionals who feel stuck, uncertain, or misaligned build a fulfilling career as a calling — gaining clarity about their direction, confidence in their decisions, and alignment with their faith and values.
With over 10 years of experience in corporate marketing and strategy at Fortune 500 companies and certification through the International Association of Career Coaches (IACC), I bring both real-world perspective and structured coaching to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Is This You?
Student or Early-Career Professional Feeling Stuck

Student or Early-Career Professional Navigating Your Next Step
You’re facing a transition, considering new options, or feeling uncertain about what comes next — and you want clarity before making your next move.
Student or Early-Career Professional Seeking a Fulfilling Career as a Calling
You want more than a job that looks good on paper — you’re looking for work that reflects who you are, aligns with your faith and values, and feels genuinely fulfilling.
Parent Supporting a Student or Young Professional
You want to support your child well as they navigate decisions about majors, careers, or next steps — and you’re looking for thoughtful, faith-informed guidance to help them gain clarity and confidence.
How I Help
-
A free, structured 45-minute conversation to identify where you feel stuck, what’s getting in the way, and which coaching pathway — if any — is the right fit for your season. You’ll leave with a clear next step whether or not we work together.
-
A six-week, one-on-one coaching experience for college students and recent grads who want to clarify their direction, discover their strengths, and build a focused plan — so they can move forward with confidence and purpose. See full details and pricing on the Coaching Services page.
-
Once you have clarity, these programs help you execute — from resume and LinkedIn positioning to interviews, offers, and landing the right role. Choose 3 or 6 months depending on your timeline and goals. See full details and pricing on the Coaching Services page.
-
Have a friend, classmate, or colleague also navigating their career? Bring 1–2 people and go through it together — more accountable than coaching alone, more personal than a group program, at a lower investment per person. Mention it on your free clarity call and we'll explore if it's a fit. See full details and pricing on the Coaching Services page.

What Sets My Coaching Apart
What Clients Are Saying
“Audrey has been such an encouraging and transformative help. Her guidance completely shifted my perspective, and I now feel confident stepping into my next direction. She took such attentive care to understand my ambitions, which gave me the assurance I needed as I enter this next phase of life. I came to her three years after college, unsure of my path but passionate about working with children and aware of only part of my skill set. Audrey helped me identify practical tools and next steps while giving me the encouragement to move forward boldly. Her diligence, empathy, and insight truly stand out. It is clear that her calling is to help others find direction and purpose in their careers and education!”
— Becca, Former Client
“Audrey's career coaching was life changing! I was unhappy in my previous desk job and clueless about what career to pursue long-term. After a few meetings with Audrey, we developed a career plan structured around my interests, skillset, and knowledge.
Now, I am in graduate school, I love my coursework, and I am excited to begin a new career that I can build and sustain a family on. This would not have been possible without Audrey's intentional and thorough guidance. Her ability to integrate my short-and-long-term goals, my abilities, and career fields/opportunities that are in demand are uncanny. In addition, she genuinely seemed to care about me and did not see me as another statistic. I am grateful for her valuable guidance, and I hope so many others (via Audrey's services) will find their new careers fulfilling like I do. I cannot recommend Audrey enough!”
— Harry, Former Client
“Audrey has been an invaluable resource in the development of my freelance career. As a classical musician, I’ve benefited greatly from her business-savvy guidance—particularly her encouragement to maintain a professional website and LinkedIn presence. These tools, which many artists often overlook, have directly contributed to my increased performance opportunities, private lesson students, and reed sales. Our regular conversations about personality types have also deepened my self-understanding and improved the way I relate to colleagues and students. Most importantly, Audrey’s guidance is rooted in a God-centered perspective. She has personally supported my desire to use my talents in performance and teaching for the glory of God. I highly recommend Audrey’s career coaching to anyone seeking thoughtful, personalized, and spiritually grounded support in their professional journey. Her insight, encouragement, and practical advice have made a lasting difference in my life and work.”
