About Tanagui

Tanagui's primary focus is to help women over 40 get the career they want.

I'm passionate about working with women who:

  • can't figure out how to get back into the workforce.
  • are looking for more opportunity, for the next step on their career path.
  • are ready to pivot careers.

My passion runs further as I enjoy supporting them through this process so they get that cherished position as they stand out in the crowd. When a client is able to present themselves with the confidence to succeed, to answer the hard questions with finesse and grace and step into their new career it makes my heart sing. I truly enjoy helping them get what they want.

Helen D. Sanchez

With over 30 years of experience in recruiting and career guidance, my journey has been dedicated to helping people navigate their career paths leading me to found Tanagui, LLC, a career consultancy with focus. Inspired by personal experiences in the workplace and my extensive research on ageism, I emphasize supporting women over 40 in finding valuable and meaningful work. 

My work is rooted in the fact that women over 40 have significant contributions to make, even though they often face diminished value in the workplace. As longevity increases, women need to continue pursuing passions as they break through the barriers of age discrimination and for companies to understand the high value of inter-generational symbiotic relationships amongst their staff. Regularly sharing valuable information by speaking at events, participating in podcasts, and writing articles, I address these challenges and advocate for change.

My academic background includes dual Bachelor's degrees in Women & Gender Studies and African American Studies from the College of New Jersey. I am a proud member of Phi Beta Kappa Society and the Honor Society in Women & Gender Studies. In recognition of my efforts, I received the Alice Paul Award for Activism. I am also a graduate of the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and a certified coach.

When I'm not working with candidates or creating tools for job search services, I am passionate about my children, grandchildren, furry children, reading and photography.
