Student Coaching Testimonial
Name: Mariia Vasylieva
"I can honestly say this was one of the best and most useful experiences the University of Glasgow has provided. Your guidance has been incredibly valuable, and not only in helping me understand my strengths and how to communicate them more clearly, but also in encouraging me to take ownership of my professional narrative. I now feel much more confident in expressing the value I bring, both in writing and in conversation.”
