WHAT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS SAY
WHAT GRADUATE STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS SAY
Katie S.,
Graduate Student
"It has been such a pleasure working with India. I had several career counselors look at my resume, but she was better able to make changes that helped my resume stand out. I was able to get rid of the fluff which had previously been making my resume look like a generic job description. With her help, my resume helped me get accepted into Lehigh, and I was admitted with a Director's Scholarship, for my graduate program."
Rhea S.,
