"She took her time in guiding me while also being an amazing light of encouragement."
"Nickquolette is one of the most amazing coaches/mentors I work with. As a résumé writer/career coach, I was struggling with figuring out how to grow my business. Even though I started my business years ago, there were still things I wanted to do to improve my services and charge more prices. Not only did she teach me additional skills, such as interview prep and career coaching, but she took her time in guiding me while also being an amazing light of encouragement.
One thing that makes Nickquolette stand out the most is her ability to relate and emphasize with you as a human first before anything. I am forever thankful for the help, love, and humor she always provide for me and I highly recommend her as a coach, mentor, and friend."
