Testimonials

"Maria is simply a one-of-a-kind mentor, and the BEST support I have received in my career shift into Business Analysis. She's kind, knowledgeable, generous, encouraging, personable, and deeply caring. What I valued the most in her was that she went above and beyond in her mentoring offers, followed up to see how I was faring with my job application process, gave me tons of useful advice, connected me to a recruiting agency, made sure I had everything I needed and was simply invaluable in helping me see the light through an often not so straight-forward career transition process.

​

The support I received from Maria has been crucial in my career journey and thanks to her, I feel strongly equipped for what's next for me. I highly recommend her as a mentor for anyone who is looking for a career change to the BA field and is looking for a highly competent, supportive, and attentive ally. "
