Jocylen has been the most important coach and mentor in my transition as an MBA student from a military officer to Silicon Valley. Her detailed knowledge of job hunting, culture, interviewing skills, career paths, and her experience helped me navigate the process of switching careers and cut months, if not years, off my learning curve. I'd strongly recommend every MBA student make of point of getting to know her and seeing her as much as her schedule permits. She is a true asset to the MBA community here at Santa Clara University.
