Clare Balow has helped me grow in many ways, both personally and professionally. She taught me that work ethic is important to success, so I strive to do as she does in my professional career. On top of that, Clare is great at working with people. She is kind and generous and it serves her very well professionally and personally, so I hope to do the same, as she did for me, and continues to do with those she works with.

I acquired some great networking connections and learned that people should not be afraid to ask for help as everyone likes to help others. The Office of Job Training is a great resource to help you grow into the professional you hope to be.
