Hi I'm Harleny
I speak at colleges and universities across the country because I know what it takes to help students succeed beyond the classroom.
As a licensed social worker, former recruiter, and founder of yourEVOLVEDmind, I’ve spent over a decade supporting students and early-career professionals in building intentional, purpose-driven careers.
In 2024 alone, I’ve worked with over 3,200 students at institutions nationwide, delivering keynotes that combine research-backed strategies, relatable storytelling, and actionable career development frameworks.
My approach is rooted in my lived experience because I’ve been in the students’ shoes and understand not just what students are facing, but what they are feeling. With empathy, compassion, and data I help them reframe failure, build resilience, and take ownership of their professional journey, so they leave inspired and prepared.
I’m here to help your institution deliver a memorable event with measurable impact that sticks long after the applause.
