Constellation · Coaching

Find your constellation.

Career coaching for neurodivergent professionals in federal and cleared work. Designed with Black women in mind.

Your strengths are already there, like stars no one has connected yet. Coaching helps you see the pattern, name it, and use it to move through a system that wasn’t built around how you think.

I’m Aerika. I’ve spent 15 years inside federal programs, from the support queue to leading delivery. I know how the system works from the inside, and Constellation applies that knowledge to your career.

Where are you right now?

Start where you are.

Most people come in at one of four points. Each has its own rules, and its own ways to get stuck.

Getting in

Federal hiring changed in 2025. I help you build a plan that fits how you work.

  • Whether Schedule A fits you, and how to use it
  • The two-page federal resume
  • The new essay questions
  • Structured interview preparation
Settling in

The job is only half of it. The other half is the system around the job.

  • Preparing a reasonable accommodation request
  • Executive-function systems that hold up under pressure
  • Using AI as practical day-to-day support
Being seen

Doing strong work and getting credit for it are different skills.

  • Performance plans and the new rating rules
  • Masking, code-switching, and the energy they cost
  • Advocating for yourself without burning out
Moving on

Reorganizations and reductions in force are not the end of a federal career.

  • Next steps after a RIF or reorganization
  • Moving to a contractor or the private sector
  • Keeping your clearance current between roles

Clearance confidence

Worried a diagnosis or treatment could cost you your clearance?

You’re not alone, and much of what circulates on forums is out of date. Official DoD guidance says seeking mental health care will not, on its own, cost you a clearance. The Clearance Confidence workshop covers what the forms actually ask, where the official answers live, and how to prepare.

Last updated September 2026. Information and preparation, not legal advice. For your own case, talk with your security officer or a clearance attorney.

What this is, and what it isn’t

Constellation is coaching and practical navigation. It is not legal advice, clinical care, or diagnosis, and it doesn’t guarantee any hiring, accommodation, or clearance outcome. When you need a specialist, I’ll help you find the right one: an EEO counselor, an employment or clearance attorney, your security officer, or a licensed clinician.
