“Finding a path outside of the academy would have been so much more intimidating if I didn’t have Nicoletta’s support. She’s fluent in a huge range of opportunities for humanities PhDs and grad students, and is an excellent listener.

“It was hard for me to get a clear picture of my opportunities outside of academia from within it. I’m so grateful to Nicoletta for being one of the few people capable of preparing me for a fulfilling career outside the academy.”

“Mandy is a superior strategist, consultant, and writer in part because she takes the time to learn about her clients. She is very easy to talk to, asks insightful questions, and is an excellent listener. She has a positive attitude which inspires confidence. I was impressed by how quickly Mandy was able to characterize my professional experience and my skill set. “

“Before working with Nicoletta, I was feeling trapped by the idea that I had to continue in academia no matter what and that outside of it there would be no interesting options for me—or that the possibilities I did have would be boring, or go against my values.

“It’s clear now there are many interesting career options for me. The other key thing I’ve learned is that I have a lot of very useful skills I’ve learned over the years in graduate school. All of these will help me in my future career and are great assets.”

“Mandy does an amazing job of listening to the whole story and turning scattered notes and thoughts into cohesive, persuasive career documents. Her help with my resume and other career content has really made a positive difference in my career trajectory.”
