CEO of Career Confidence LLC

Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) & Certified Veteran Career Strategiest

I’m the founder and CEO of Career Confidence Resume Writing Services. I am a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and Certified Veteran Career Strategist (CVCS), dedicated to helping military service members transition into the civilian workforce.


For the past 10+ years, I’ve been working closely with the military community as a Military-to-Civilian Transition Resume Writer. I’m honored to have won the “Modernize Your Resume” Contest for a Military Executive Resume.


At Career Confidence, our mission is to help clients showcase their unique military experience and translate military jargon into a language that civilians can understand, ensuring they stand out among other candidates.


I’m a military brat and I lead a team of veterans and military spouses who share my dedication to assisting military service members in their transition to the civilian workforce.


When I’m not connecting with clients, I’m actively raising two little girls (aged 6 and 3) with my husband and managing a 40-acre homestead in the mountains of Colorado. We’re currently building an Earthship/Hempcrete hybrid home. Our delightful menagerie includes a rotating cast of farm animals, from chickens 🐔, goats 🐐, and pigs 🐖 to turkeys 🦃, barn cats 🐈‍⬛, and livestock guard dogs 🐕. And my favorite hobby, gardening 🌱

Judy is an Air Force Veteran and was an Army brat family moved every few years and my childhood education moved with us. Now I’ve spent my entire life helping the military learn as a career active duty and civil servant. I have a Master of Science in Instructional Design and Learning Theory. Creating learning experiences that can be applied and then demonstrating the application in the instructional design is my passion.

Judy goes down every research rabbit hole to find relevant subject content, then skillfully structure research and distill complex content into engaging and efficient education that has a substantial shelf life. I look forward to connecting with people who have a passion for learning.

When Cassie is not writing resumes, my husband and I juggle two daughters; a spunky threenager and a one-year-old. We also manage a 40-acre homestead in central Colorado with 20+ chickens, six goats, a pig, two dogs, and a year-round garden (intense sun, wind, and dry environment permitting).

Right now my main focus is raising good little humans and showing them they can be successful working mothers and incredible stewards to the environment. My husband and I share a dream to live more sustainably which includes a passive solar home near Salida, Colorado.

We are also building a home, an Earthship/Hempcrete Hybrid

If you are curious about our building project, which is an Earthship/Hempcrete hybrid home, visit and like our Facebook page!

I enjoy nearly any time of exercise including running, biking, swimming, yoga, and hiking. I cook 95% of our meals because we live 30 minutes from the nearest pizza place, so I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen. I also have a large garden every year with tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, beans, beats, buckwheat, herbs, lettuce, radishes, and almost every variety of zucchini you can imagine. In LBK (life before kids) I enjoyed hunting, long motorcycle rides, skiing, fishing, scuba diving, and sewing.
