Testimonials
What people say?
Kerry-Ann connected immediately with the students and was able to effectively share with them paths to career success...My students engaged with her by asking her question which led to them asking me about communications, entrepreneurship and how different majors couple help them in the future. I would often tell them to ask questions like this, but to have them intrinsically ask is far more valuable. Kerry-Ann's conversation with the students definitely opened their minds and expanded their definition of success.
