Testimonial

Thank you for being so supportive this past year Kirsten and providing me with clear, achievable steps towards my goals. You really helped propel me forward, skyrocketing my confidence. With your fine tuning of my resume, I have been accepted into the United Nations program in NYC, plus am starting my Masters at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. This is the world's number one program in International Relations and Security Studies and they only accept 18 students per year. I also received offers of multiple scholarships from other universities, plus received the Deans Award and a research position offer from American University. Additionally, I networked with many influential people on LinkedIn like you suggested and the universe has been opening up for me. You're incredible at what you do for others!

Karen Lindley AM - CEO Purple Angel Society

Kirsten went straight to the kernel of things and worked from there to provide strategic, practical and effective solutions. I loved her 'let's get this done' attitude and her straight-thinking approach. Combined with her laser-focused business intuition it makes for a powerful antidote.
