Voices from the journey
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients – youth, healthcare professionals, international hires – each on a unique journey. Here’s what they’ve shared about working whith me…
Youth Client – Tech Career
“I was going through a really though time – just out of school and out of my 4th fostring home, no clear direction, and unsure if I’d ever make it into the tech world. Bouchra didn’t just help me with my CV or job search. She believed in me, helped me believe in myself, and gave me a clear plan. Today, I’m working in the Tech job I dreamed of. It still feels unreal.”
