Power of Athena Testimonials

“It was so helpful to have a partner in the BCP process. It’s been years since I’ve updated my resume so it’s so valuable to have someone walk me through what’s current/relevant in the market and also appropriate for how to present the experience that I’ve gained in that time through my resume, bio, and LinkedIn. “

Erica Dahl

“Rochelle helped me own who I am again after a tough period in my current role that had me doubting myself.”
