Vivian Armor, Adjunct Faculty and Director, Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship University of Maryland, Baltimore County

Your presentation to Woodland Job Corps Center STARS students was fantastic. The students took away some valuable information in regard to the work ethics they need to adopt for their lives as they pursue their careers. Several indicated they would love for you to come and speak to them again. Several of our mentors have started working through your book "How to Jumpstart Your Job," with their students and are really enjoying it.
Gloria Coliton, STARS Coordinator, Woodland Job Corps Center

Your presentation was not only informative but also engaging and hands on with the material you provided. You maintained the student’s attention…not a small feat before lunch. I am excited about the impact you and your book will have on society at large and the impact you, personally, will have on changing individual lives for the good.
