Ashima has a strong foundation of experience in various fields, which is why talking to her was extremely insightful. I went in with not very high expectations, but it was such a well structured and helpful guidance session. Highly recommend it to any person struggling with starting out on a career or finding direction.

My first one-on-one career guidance talk, and Ashima was so patient all along. Her wide range of experiences and insights helped me think critically about the goals I have, and her solid advice has given me a sense of direction on where to start. Taking time to listen to my journey + needs, and providing actionable insights with a structure are what I loved most about my session with her!

Ashima is very knowledgeable and experienced. She is very polite also. She explained the basics to me and then move forward. She covered everything from, my interests, my background, what options are there for me, and how I can upgrade my skills.

As a college junior turned mentee, I cannot thank Ashima enough for her wisdom, support, and inspiration. She has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure my personal and professional growth. Her dedication to my success was evident in every interaction we had. Her unwavering belief in my abilities and encouragement to push me beyond my limits has been instrumental in shaping my mindset and approach to career transitions. She has not only invested her time and expertise in guiding me through my career choices, but also took the time to understand my personal goals, aspirations, and concerns. Her empathetic nature created a safe space for me to share my concerns and fears, and her ability to listen without judgment provided me with the comfort and confidence I needed to overcome obstacles. Her counselling style, characterized by a perfect balance of guidance and autonomy, allowed me to develop my skills while also fostering my independence and decision-making abilities. She encouraged me to think critically, explore different perspectives, and take ownership of my choices. She definitely leads by example and I will forever be grateful for the difference she has made in my life!
