“Cherena is an incredible mentor and advisor to students. As a graduate student at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs, I witnessed and benefited from her re-tooling and transforming the advising of students to meet an ever-evolving landscape of finding a job.
I continue to work with Cherena today, now as an employer who looks to Cherena’s leadership to ensure that our organization receives talented students.”
