Valery is someone who truly cares with her heart. She listened and attended to my needs. She has been tremendously helpful during multiple application seasons, not only providing professional advice as well as attentive and personal support at each step of the way, but she is also exceptionally talented at making space for and holding the many complex emotions during these pivotal and often stressful times. Her rich experience, and professional approach coupled with her kindness and attentiveness make her an unparalleled choice.
