Bio
Chris Adams, CHA
I have known Heavenly since 2013. We began by working with the same company. Her focus, energy, and resilience continued to set the bar high with successful results. Heavenly is a natural leader who has the uncanny ability to make those around her better. She leads by example and remains committed towards improving her knowledge and insight thru staying on the other side of her comfort zone. I continued to be amazed in her dedication to become a better version of herself daily!
Jennifer Rakestraw
Heavenly and I first met through Ajilon when she was my Executive Recruiter during my job search. I was so impressed with her work ethic and personality that we remained in touch over the years. We worked together again at TechSkills and Heavenly continued to impress with with her abilities to accept new challenges and excel at whatever she was given. She gives a whole new meaning to the word professionalism. She is a wonderful leader and mentor, she provides guidence and her personality makes it seem so easy for her to get along with everyone. She is someone who I have looked up to for a long time and value her opinion and guidence. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again and would recommend her for any opportunity she were to be considered for. She is a true asset to any organization that is lucky enough to have her.
