Danielle Hartounian

Founder, The Carpe Method

Danielle Hartounian is a creative leader and entrepreneur dedicated to learning and development. Drawing from her own college experiences as a first-generation, community college transfer student, as well as her robust career in higher education, Danielle shares impactful + practical knowledge through tailored coaching to support the entire learning life-cycle starting from high school (or community college) to college, graduate school, and professional life beyond.

Inspired by the Latin adage “carpe diem” meaning *seize the day*, Danielle’s signature “Carpe Method” philosophy teaches key core competencies to empower students and professionals to become the leaders of their own education and careers.

After years of working in student life (mentoring) and professional development (career coaching), Danielle observed a vast discrepancy in the rising cost of tuition and students’ lack of personal growth and career readiness. After a decade “in-house,” Danielle launched The Carpe Method to expand reach and help more people learn how to seize the day of their college experiences and professional careers.

The Carpe Method mindfully blends Danielle’s graduate background in English and Higher Education along with her professional training experiences to deliver comprehensive programs that support clients as holistically as possible: writing and editing (of college essays, resumes, cover letters, etc.), coaching (on emotional intelligence, leadership development, job searching, stress management, etc.), and more.

With Danielle, you will clarify your academic, professional, and personal goals, both short- and long-term, and map our pathways to succeed in those dreams. You will find your voice to introduce yourself to any admissions or job search committee, apply to schools and positions with confidence, develop increasingly valuable professional skills through mindful mentoring and personalized coaching, and learn how to lead your own life through timeless lessons that will continue to inform and transform you.
