“Exceptional mentorship”
I am an academic who has researched and written about international development topics. I have also done some consulting for a large international development organization. I reached out to Malika several years ago when I was interested in turning my academic CV into a resume that would be suitable for jobs in the international development field. Malika was immediately responsive to my request for help. She is an incredibly kind and caring individual. Before recommending changes to my existing documents, she asked me about my background and my future goals and objectives. Once Malika started working with my documents, she was very meticulous. Additionally, the conversations we had led me to think about other career opportunities I had not previously considered. Malika is very knowledgeable. She is also the utmost professional. I very strongly recommend Malika to anyone contemplating a career, or a career change, in the international development field.
