Gwen has brought a calm and reassuring presence to our team for years. It was a pleasure learning from her poise and confidence as she intently listened students to give them quality feedback. Her resourceful ingenuity allowed her to completely re-make the entire rubric we use for student mock interviews. She incorporated the entire team's feedback and compiled it to create a polished and inclusionary product. Gwen can perceive problems, adapt to the current need, and advise effectively. I am proud to have worked with her and I recommend her highly.

Jordan M. Hanks

Gwen is an empathetic and sincere individual who can always be found with a smile on her face. She is sensitive to the needs of her clients and communicates extremely well, always taking the time to listen sincerely before she responds. I would highly recommend her for any opportunity, especially one involving client interaction.
