Amber was a walk on at UC San Diego for the Women’s Rowing team. She met the Founder of A2C her Junior year of college. When it came close to graduation, they took a chance, and hired her. Today, her direct coaching style comes from the successes and failures she’s witnessed, and experienced, over the last 10+ years working with career seekers and hiring managers. Amber is your “go-to” for tough feedback others won’t share and a sharp eye for talent that’s hard to find.
John gets it — because he’s been on both sides. Before coaching athletes through the career transition, he spent years in corporate America doing the hiring himself, so he knows exactly what companies are looking for. Now he uses that insider view to help former student-athletes turn their competitive edge into real career opportunities, having guided over 450 student athletes into roles with corporate partners. He’s also the author of College to Career Journal: 101 Thought Provoking Ways to Help You Land the Job of Your Dreams. A grad of Eastern Illinois University, John lives in the Phoenix area and is all-in on helping athletes win their next chapter.
Talee Snow is Vice President of the West Coast at Athletes to Careers, where she helps former athletes translate their competitive experience into successful careers. A former UCLA softball player, Talee earned her degree in Political Science before beginning her career as a District Manager with ALDI. After experiencing A2C’s coaching firsthand during her own transition from athletics, she joined the organization to help other athletes confidently navigate theirs. Talee now leads A2C’s West Coast efforts, partnering with talented candidates and companies to build lasting, successful teams.
Outside of work, Talee enjoys traveling, trying new restaurants, cooking for friends and family, and spending time with her niece. Some of her favorite nights are the simple ones with good food, a bottle of wine brought home from a trip, and everyone gathered around the table.
