Amy is amazing.
She has an unusual combination of personal attributes, education
and work experience that makes her so effective and inspired
as a career coach. She is warm, intuitive, engenders trust
and confidence, and makes inspired connections. She’s
intelligent and street-smart. She has an MBA and a counseling
degree. I loved this combination and felt they informed
her work in a really effective way, along with her broad
and varied work experience. She’s also studied positive
psychology – how wonderful is that! Get thee to Amy!
She’s simply the best!”
