I’m Hayley –
your career
fairy godmother.
I started Your Storyline because I kept seeing brilliant, capable people struggle to talk about themselves in moments that mattered. Resumes, admissions essays, and executive leadership opportunities all carried the same tension.
I could see what they couldn’t: their accomplishments, unique gifts, and the small wins they had forgotten.
This is the work we’ll do together.
I help you uncover what makes you distinct and shape it into a compelling narrative through professional resume writing services, personal statement editing, and leadership storytelling support so you can communicate with intention.
With your new storyline, you won’t just check boxes. You’ll stand out.

Meet the Founder
Hayley Brooks | Founder, Your Storyline
I studied Creative Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and later completed graduate-level coursework in College & Graduate School Advising at Columbia University. My background spans entertainment, journalism, personal essay writing, and public relations — places where I learned that deep, focused listening is the first requirement to crafting a compelling story.
I’m based in Memphis, Tennessee, where I have lovingly renovated a historic 100-year-old bungalow, serve as a docent at the Memphis Museum of Art, and have become a mom. Together these experiences have fundamentally changed how I see the world; they have taught me how to look, really truly look, and to then deliberately choose what matters.
