Why she does this work
Luciana is an immigrant herself. She has lived the break in professional identity that comes with moving countries, and the work of translating career capital into a new market. That experience, combined with an insider's view of how hiring decisions get made, shapes how Career Wizards works.
Her approach
Luciana reads careers the way a recruiter reads a candidate pool: as a system of signals. She helps professionals turn who they are, what they've built and what they're capable of into career positioning the market can recognize and reward.
