TESTIMONIALS

Jay, Student

As I was deciding on what options were available after completing my secondary education, I sought the advice of our Careers Coach - Ms. V. In retrospect, I realize how fortunate I was to have had the expert guidance of Ms.V in deciding what path post-secondary would be the best. Initially, I was unsure if I wanted to go to university to pursue a degree in aviation, or enter into flight school to pursue a pilot's license. Ms.V invited me to have a conversation with her, evaluating the pros and cons of both pathways and the potential career prospects in either case. These were highly valuable in providing a clearer picture of what would be the most beneficial option for me.

On the start of any journey, one looks for a role model, support and someone who can inspire and
motivate you to reach your goals. Maria has been my that inspiration, a guiding star and a go to person
from whom I have learned and gained so much of knowledge. Maria has supported me since the beginning, and I absolutely advocate Maria as a Careers Coach and
Mentor. Being with her she will inspire and support you throughout your journey.
