Meet Yumi Wilson

As a tenured professor, podcast host, and aspiring career coach, I empower individuals to thrive in today’s media and tech landscape. Through my podcast, “AI in Journalism,” I discuss practical insights and effective strategies for leveraging AI tools in media. I also offer personalized services such as LinkedIn profile makeovers and resume optimization to help individuals navigate their career paths confidently.

As a former corporate communications manager at LinkedIn, I traveled the globe, helping journalists, communicators, and executives enhance their professional presence. This experience gave me a deep understanding of how to leverage AI for creative and professional growth—from building websites to crafting compelling content—without the need for complex technical skills.

My approach is all about meeting people where they are and guiding them through crucial career transitions, whether moving from traditional journalism to digital media or starting a new path altogether.

Through resume and LinkedIn optimization services, personalized coaching, how-to webinars, and my podcast and newsletter, I empower individuals to take the next step in their careers confidently and clearly.

Beyond journalism and AI, I’m driven to help people from all walks of life embrace change and discover their full potential. Whether through my podcast, speaking engagements, or one-on-one coaching, I’m here to support and inspire those ready to begin their next chapter.

"Yumi gave me insightful and invaluable advice about optimizing my LinkedIn profile. I have a diverse background and was finding it difficult to write an effective resume. She listened to my story-- my experience as well as what I want to be doing-- and made suggestions about how to focus my experience to showcase my talents. In the first week of using my new profile, I scheduled 4 interviews and saw much more interest/activity overall. If you're looking for new opportunities, I'd highly recommend speaking with Yumi!"
