Eilis is driven, dedicated, capable, and intelligent. I am constantly amazed that one of the most competent individuals I have ever worked with also turns out to be one of the most kind and genuine. I've had the pleasure to work with Eilis in a number of roles, evolving from client to graduate assistant to colleague. Time and time again Eilis demonstrates to me the zenith of performance for a coach and career development expert. Her work at the Career Center at Ball State still reaches students, and her contributions to MWACE have invigorated and improved the organization in a very real and visible way. It has been a delight to get to work with Eilis yet again through my own involvement with MWACE!

I've known Eilis in other ways -- as a community volunteer, coach to students I've interviewed and as a friend. It was no surprise that her assistance as a career coach is inline with her character displayed in so many ways! Eilis provided thoughtful, concise actions to improve my job hunt efforts. Her kindness, directness and clarity are each so helpful in the process.

Eilis gave her workshop on Introverts in the workforce as part of the annual Employee Development Day at the public library. The workshop was very engaging, with Eilis using technology to make it easier for everyone to respond to questions, whether they were introverts or extroverts.
