“It wasn’t until I started working with Karen that I truly understood the importance and value of soul searching throughout the MBA application process. As Karen and I continued to work together it became clearer than ever how important it is to me to find work that has meaning. In this regard, and many others, I would have been lost through this process without her. Aside from considering my own future and career, I couldn’t help but acknowledge that what Karen does for a living is a very important job, and it impacted me very deeply. Karen’s guidance and input helped me achieve results beyond my expectations. Further, she helped me touch others in such positive and meaningful ways – I can’t express how excited my entire family from Brazil was to hear that I was accepted to Duke. I feel like I’ve inspired them to reach higher, too. What Karen has done has had a big ripple effect!!”
