Martin Baeck
Communications Specialist
Pfizer, Inc.
"Michelle is a paramount professional, especially as it pertains to the scope of practice in navigating a job search, networking, and negotiation. As a young woman of color in the communications/marketing sphere, it was tough navigating the interview process and ensuring I adequately indicated my value and potential contributions to a new company. Countless times, Michelle was available via phone and email, assisting with careful email responses, interview prep, and support after the offer letter was issued. I can't say enough about how imperative her assistance was, especially in the midst of a saturated job market during a global pandemic. If she can assist a candidate in that type of market, she's one to consult in any market. I highly recommend her services!"

"Michelle was a life saver. I'm writing this recommendation as a parent. Sometimes you spend a lot of energy encouraging your college student to go to the career center and let them help you with your resume. All too often it falls on deaf ears because it is not a priority yet. Michelle created my son's resume just prior to his senior year of college. We gave her an old resume. After spending some time getting to know him she was able to create a resume that really spoke to who he is and his work experience. Michelle is professional and she is a great writer, not to mention her turn around time is quick."

She is passionate about what she believes in and committed to making a difference in her world. She is always looking for innovative ways to lead and communicate her ideas. She is an excellent writer and a hard worker. I have the pleasure of knowing and working with her for the past seven years. We met when she was a student in Seton Hall University’s Master of Arts in Strategic Communication & Leadership program and have continued as friends and colleagues ever since."
