About Arianna

Hi, I'm Arianna.

I'm a college student double majoring in Finance and Political Science, and the founder of AK Careers & Capital. My goal is to help people build careers and a financial foundation that make those goals possible — with guidance personal enough to actually use, and skills you keep long after our sessions end.

I spent nearly four years working in the service industry as a restaurant manager, and as a financial services representative in banking. In my first year of college I managed a large club budget as treasurer and led communications for a political campaign externally. Now I'm transferring to a more prestigious institution, interning in finance and policy for the county government, and completing six trainings across every area I advise in.

My approach is real conversations, not templates — finding a plan that fits your budget and your life. Whether you're translating service-industry experience into corporate language, building a budget you'll actually stick to, or figuring out your next move, I've been in the same seat and know what works.

Services

What we work on together.

Every client is different, and every session is built around what you actually need. Most clients combine two or three of these.

RES · Resume Building

Resume Building

Best for first internships and reframing non-traditional experience.

We build or rebuild a resume that highlights your real strengths and translates your experience into language employers respect.

60 min session1-on-1
LKD · LinkedIn Strategy

LinkedIn Strategy

Best for a profile that's empty, outdated, or generating nothing.

We optimize your profile end to end, build a networking strategy, and draft InMails and connection messages that get replies.

60 min session1-on-1
BUD · Budgeting & Savings

Budgeting & Savings

Best for feeling vague about money and wanting a real plan.

We build a budget that reflects your actual life — what's coming in, what's going out, and how to start saving on what you have now.

45 min session1-on-1
AI · AI Fluency

AI Fluency

Best for knowing AI is useful but not knowing where to start.

We walk through prompting effectively, where AI genuinely saves time, where it falls short, and how to sharpen your skills without depending on it.

45 min session1-on-1
EML · Professional Emailing

Professional Email Drafting

Best for a tough email — a follow-up, a negotiation, a delicate ask.

We work through the exact message you need to send and craft something clear and confident, plus frameworks for next time.

30 min session1-on-1
JOB · Job & Internship Search

Job & Internship Search

Best for applying to the wrong roles, or none at all.

We identify your target roles, build a list of reach, target, and safety opportunities, and create a realistic application plan.

60 min session1-on-1
Packages

Bundled support for bigger transitions.

For clients who want sustained support through a job search, a career pivot, or a full reset on career and finances together.
