Makeda is very professional, and intentional. I loved her approach of getting a deeper understanding of my desired goal, and working with me to develop a plan of action to achieve my goal. She is very relatable, and transparent. I feel like she makes things plain and keeps it simple, and she speaks truthfully, which is appreciated. I am so glad to have worked with her for I don't think I would have made the progress that I have made towards my goal, without her. I can say I not only have made progress, but I also feel confident about my choices.
