She has unwavering enthusiasm, optimism and motivation. She cannot tolerate injustice and will go to great lengths to correct it. She was accepted to social grad school, was invited to represent her school in Washington DC, and was just recently chosen as a candidate for Braven's convention in June! This woman blows me away, and I know we will be hearing about her in the future. Thanks for the opportunity to be your mentor and I hope this is just the beginning for a life-long collaboration and friendship. In gratitude. Constance Bauer

She grew so much in the small time we had together, and I couldn't be more proud.  

She crushed her goals, was transparent with her needs (with me and others), and I found myself looking forward to our calls each week. 

She managed her life needs, her work needs, and her school needs like a freaking champ.  

I feel like we learned from each other.  

I could type a whole book, but I'll leave it here.
