Hi, I’m Reena Washington, founder of one oak, and I’m here to help you own your career journey and step into your confidence.

My path has been anything but linear, and that’s what makes me so passionate about guiding others through their unique career stories. I started my journey in pursuing a degree in fashion merchandise marketing, full of ambition and excitement, only to drop out of school when it didn’t feel like the right fit. I’ve quit jobs, started over, and changed careers—all while navigating moments of self-doubt, uncertainty, and the nagging question: “Will I ever find my right fit?”

Ultimately, my twists and turns led me to a career in human resources, where I spent over a decade building thriving workplace cultures and learning what it takes to succeed in dynamic, ever-changing environments. From high-growth startups to established organizations, I’ve experienced the challenges of figuring out what’s next and the incredible growth that comes from taking bold steps forward.

That’s why I created one oak: to help you discover your strengths, align your career with your values, and create a path that feels uniquely yours. My coaching isn’t about quick fixes or cookie-cutter advice—it’s about helping you find clarity, embrace your potential, and build a career you’re truly proud of.

As a certified career coach and HR professional, I bring practical tools and personal insights to support your growth. Together, we’ll tackle the big questions, overcome self-doubt, and turn your dreams into actionable steps. Whether you’re starting fresh, navigating a career change, or simply figuring out what’s next, I’m here to remind you: you’re capable of more than you realize.

Let’s turn your ambition into momentum and create a future that’s as one of a kind as you are. You don’t have to do it alone—I’ve been where you are, and I’m here to help.
