What's it like to work with me?
During my time working with Emily I not only found my new beginning, I became me again. Emily and I first started by unpacking my background, in terms of my educational goals and career goals. But it didn’t stop there. Emily asked me how I was really doing. She prioritized my education and pushed me to reach my goals, and that was exactly what I did! While working with Emily, I realized I deserve to belong and succeed despite my fears. I can now truly say that I have clarity about my career goals, and I feel confident in my next steps and ability to tackle new challenges in order to achieve my goals!
