Engineering Training Manager, Technology Industry
"Andrea is a great career coach. Andrea helped me walk through the process of self-discovery, determining what types of work make me happy, identifying companies that would have the types of work I would want to do, how to increase and leverage my network, how to successfully pass those pesky interviews, and how to negotiate my job offer. She was available every step of the way to help with my success. She didn’t do the work, but helped me follow the correct paths to figure things out for myself. And it worked. I start an exciting new job in a few weeks, thanks to Andrea. Congrats on helping another person achieve their dreams!

"Andrea's support and professional coaching was priceless during a difficult career transition time. She always cheered me up with positive examples and gave me advice that was right on time and to the point! She was also comfortable giving constructive feedback without making me feeling more frustrated, so that I could clearly see the holes and make the right improvement! I always found myself getting better after talking to her. I can't say enough of thanks to her. I received a great offer from Facebook and Andrea played a big part for it!
