Gill is the best instructor I could ask for in the Career Development course I took this past semester. She is very detailed, passionate about teaching, responsive and caring. She created thoughtful content throughout various class activities that could help me develop my core career-seeking skills and SMART goals for my career and professional development. Additionally, she always takes extra steps to be available to my classmates and me whenever we need more clarification. No matter what level you are at, she will work with you to ensure you are digesting the lessons as you go and that no one gets left behind in her classes. I am very thankful for a passionate instructor like you, Gill.
