You gave me your time so generously and without asking for anything in return. You even went beyond the time we originally planned, which I really appreciated. I also felt genuinely comfortable opening up to you, which is rare when talking about career paths and the future. At this age, those topics can feel overwhelming, but you helped make it feel okay to not have it all figured out yet.

One of the most valuable things I took away from our session was the reminder to be intentional in how I approach my learning journey. You helped me realize the importance of pausing to ask myself how I feel about the things I do, and what they mean to me. The Career Decision-Making Cycle you shared gave me a clear framework I know I’ll come back to and apply. 

Honestly, if I wasn’t about to start such a demanding school year, I would have loved to continue working with you. I really felt seen and supported in our session.

Scheduling a discovery call with Ms. Ma gave me more clarity in 30 minutes than I’ve gotten from months of job searching. As someone entering my senior year with a broad set of interests, from business analysis to marketing, I felt like I was floating without direction. Ms. Ma helped me reflect deeply on what I value in a future job. 

What stood out most was how thoughtfully she guided me to articulate not just what I don’t want, but what I do want in a career. Her warm, grounded coaching helped me reconnect with my values and visualize a path that feels both exciting and attainable. I walked away with more than just advice—I left with a mindset shift and a clearer framework for making future decisions.

If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I highly recommend booking time with Connie. Her insight is equal parts practical and empowering.

Scheduling my 30-minute discovery call with Connie was the best thing I did before my senior year. In just 30 minutes, she was able to give me such clarity and a future methodology for making career decisions that most other career coaches would make you pay for. 

I admire Connie's kindness and care for her students and think booking a Discovery Call could be beneficial for anyone!

Working with Connie was an amazing experience! As a young college student trying to navigate the job search, I often felt overwhelmed and unsure of my next steps. 

Connie’s coaching gave me not only practical advice but also a new level of confidence in myself and my career path. She always provided thoughtful insights, real-world advice, and strategies that made everything feel so much more manageable. Her support made a huge difference — from helping me build my professional presence to offering encouragement when things felt uncertain. 

Thanks to Connie, I feel so much better equipped to move forward in my career journey with clarity and excitement!

Joining Ms. Ma's 2024 Career Camp was one of the best decisions I made over the summer. Even as a high schooler, Career Camp exposed me to the diverse opportunities outside of high school and taught me skills such as cold emailing, professional networking, and LinkedIn profile optimization. 

Using these skills I learnt at Career Camp, I was able to find numerous opportunities and start my own organization with over 700 driven students. If you are looking for a personalized guide and a head start on exploring your professional career, Career Camp is the way to go! 

I took Career Camp with Ms. Ma in the summer of 2022, and I am currently studying computer science at Princeton University. I had a great experience with this program. I really appreciated how Ms. Ma took a macro level approach to getting us to understand what we wanted to make of our own career exploration journey. She gave us actionable ways where we can find out whether the subject areas and topics we find conceptually interesting are also the ones that we find interesting in practice. So one way she did this was by inviting a panel of speakers to tell us about the day-to-day of what their jobs look like, and I found this to be extremely eye-opening. 

I really appreciated the opportunity to conduct an informational interview with one of Ms. Ma's connections, an energy consultant, because sustainable energy is a field that I am possibly interested in pursuing. In my informational interview, I got to practice a lot of the skills that we were working on during the program, and learn a lot more. 

Overall, I found working with Ms. Ma to be extremely beneficial, and an experience that I strongly recommend to high school students, particularly juniors and seniors. 

The hardest part of going to college for me was learning how to be independent (mom isn’t doing laundry for me anymore!) and expanding my network in a foreign country from scratch! 

Working with Ms. Ma through Career Camp has helped me immensely in recognizing this early and taking tangible steps to make sure I was prepared. The connections one can make in college are boundless. However, you also need to know how to find and utilize them. Having a heads-up from Career Camp about the importance of cold-emailing professors/researchers of interest (key point is what YOU ARE interested in) and how to do so has helped me quickly find my research home early in college.

My most memorable exercise in the Career Camp course was learning how to conduct an informational interview, which helped me learn more about research and what it takes to be an MD-PhD. Meeting with Dr. Hufnagel has been very fruitful as he has given me a ton of personal advice and how to achieve that goal if I wish to pursue a similar path. He is another wise and kind mentor that I can comfortably reach out to in the future! 

I heavily recommend working with Ms. Ma because it is a no-pressure, hands-on way to learn vital career skills!
