She was incredibly easy to work with; always approachable, professional, and genuinely invested in my success. What stood out the most was her responsiveness; she consistently kept me informed throughout the process and was quick to answer any questions I had.
Before my interview, she took the time to walk me through what to expect and helped me feel thoroughly prepared. That support made a real difference in my confidence in going into the interview.
