Working with high school students, she assisted them with career advice and securing work placements. This stimulated her interest in, and passion for, Career Development and inspired her to study Career Counselling.

Drew,
I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you’ve given me over our two meetings. Your advice on "life after redundancy" and how to go about finding a new job for myself has been invaluable. The interview skills we went over yesterday have given me more confidence. Thank you also for the professional resume. So many thanks for all you’ve done and I’ll let you know when I find a job.
Best wishes,
D Harris
