Jennifer is grateful that she found her career path and enjoys helping others find theirs.  She genuinely and deeply cares about her clients and is invested in positive outcomes. 
“Jennifer is a lifesaver! I truly could not have asked for a better coach through the medical school application process. As a non-traditional medical school applicant, I was not sure where to turn for advice and support. Then, Jennifer joined my team, and has walked with me every step of the way. Jennifer has been deeply invested in helping me meet my goals throughout this process. She listened to my priorities and made sure her advice and decisional support helped me to achieve my goals. Her feedback on resumes/CVs, personal statements, and cover letters is extremely helpful, and she is always willing to look at or talk through a new draft. I walked into interviews with confidence...”
