Gabriela Romero
Any MBA coming to Israel should reach out to InsideIL I'm currently in Tel Aviv, doing an 8 weeks internship thanks to Abbey's support, I had the opportunity to compare InsideIL offer to other exchange/internship programs and this is the best by far! Abbey specifically was an invaluable resource for me financially, emotionally and in terms of connections during my hunt. I joined a company thanks to her diligence. She helped me secure financial aid from multiple institutions that added up to my stipend budget to secure a great stay in Tel Aviv, she even helped compare offers and run housing arrangements and negotiations.

Abbey is an incredibly talented and personable professional. She dove right into her position from day one, managed multiple moving parts on a large project, and built and strengthened relationships with a diversity of stakeholders in the process. Abbey has presence in front of a room, can act as an educator, and is adept at project management. I highly recommend Abbey Onn for any position looking for a committed, kind, extremely capable team player.
