Alex was and continues to be one of the best mentors I have ever had. She directly coached me while I was at EY and helped me navigate through impactful life decisions - moving from Philadelphia, to NYC, to Austin; chasing my dreams outside of work; and switching careers. She always has led with empathy and grace, while finding the perfect balance of pushing you to your potential. She inspires me to try to be as amazing as a coach she is!

Shawanda is an exceptional career coach and mentor. Having had her as my manager during my time at Meta, I had the privilege of experiencing her leadership and guidance firsthand. Shawanda has an extraordinary ability to connect with people on both a professional and personal level. She creates a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable exploring their potential and facing challenges head-on. Her authentic approach to coaching fosters trust, and her genuine care for the development of others empowers you to do your best work.  As my manager for over two years, Shawanda played a pivotal role in my professional growth by providing constructive feedback and offering tailored advice. She not only identified specific areas for improvement within my current role, but also identified opportunities for growth that aligned with my long-term career aspirations. Her coaching style is encouraging and actionable—she helps individuals identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and create concrete plans to achieve them. Shawanda's proactive approach to professional development has helped many, including myself, and I have no doubt she will inspire countless professionals in the future. I feel fortunate to have worked with her and personally recommend her to anyone seeking to partner with her!
