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.

Testimonials

Kyle G

COACHING CLIENT

“I went from 9 months of job hunting to having four job offers. Jobs I didn't think I could reach I was now saying no to, and accepting a job so aligned it didn't feel real.”
Alex B

COACHING CLIENT
“Instead of trying to fit my needs into a pre-packaged set of rules and best practices, Veronica offered a level of in depth, one-on-one guidance I hadn't experienced before.”

COACHING CLIENT

“Within 6 months of starting to work with Veronica, I accepted a position that has not only been a huge improvement for my health and happiness, but also came with a significant salary raise.”
Kelly C

COACHING CLIENT

“Unlike with the many college-hosted coaching services I attended, [Veronica] didn't look at my autism as a disadvantage. We honored the unique strengths I could bring to employers—rather than feeling like I needed SOMETHING, I now feel like they need ME!”

COACHING CLIENT
“I went from only having one client to having three, and I'm easily making more money than I ever have before in my work life so far. I also have a clearer understanding of myself and the steps I need to take to avoid burnout. I feel like I am closer to a successful professional life than I've ever been before.”
