success stories

—Testimonials list

Determined, organized, optimistic, and future-forward.

“Mady is the most determined, organized, optimistic, and future-forward thinking mentor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. While working together, Mady checked in with me regularly to discuss my workload, aspects of my position that I enjoyed or disliked, what my academic & career goals were, and how we could work together to achieve them. Mady always encouraged me to consider continuing education courses, and played an integral role in providing valuable advice that helped shape my career path.”

—Sam G.

She makes every problem feel solvable.

“Mady’s guidance and support on both my education and career journey have been invaluable. When I first met Mady, it was evident that she is a thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate leader who is devoted to learning and supporting others. She possesses the unique ability of being able to create a safe space to connect with and guide people on their career and education journeys and a positive and creative energy that makes every problem feel solvable.  Mady supported every step of my grad school application process and her knowledge and expertise encouraged me to feel confident and step outside of my comfort zone despite being fearful that I would not be good enough to achieve my goals. I truly cannot recommend Mady enough!”
