        Amy was extremely helpful with career exploration after I completed the Facebook Digital Marketing Certificate through Pathstream. I graduated in March 2020 when the pandemic hit and Amy was still always available and helped me job search despite current circumstances. She is smart, responsive, and always willing to help her students and others.   Uvinie Lubecki
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I reached out to Amy completely out of the blue to see if she would be willing to give us advice on how to best optimize our online learning program at Dalai Lama Fellows. I was touched, not only by her instant response to help, but in her thoughtful consideration of our program prior to giving any advice. Amy is sharp, to the point, and she provided excellent guidance on how best to design accordingly with our program.
