About Veronica Yao – Career Coach
Career Coach at Atypical Careers
Veronica Yao is the career coach behind Atypical Careers.
Early in her career, she struggled as an undiagnosed neurodivergent professional. Her biggest secret? Her history of chronic burnout, which forced her to change jobs frequently.
When she finally got her ADHD diagnosis at 30, it was like finding the missing puzzle piece she’d been searching for. Suddenly, her lifelong struggles were put into context, and it made sense why standard career advice didn’t work for her.
Leveraging her experience as a brand marketer, educational content creator, resume writer, as well as her industry experience in recruitment and HR, Veronica has shifted her focus to developing resources and coaching other neurodivergent professionals like herself.
Veronica’s speciality lies in helping neurodivergent professionals build sustainable work lives and break the burnout cycle.
