  • "Elisa played a pivotal role in my transition from a health care worker to a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. While interviewing with an urgent deadline to prepare a 15-minute presentation, Elisa guided me in crafting an effective deck and fine-tuning my delivery. During my interview, the hiring manager complimented my performance, saying I 'knocked it out of the park' and that my presentation exceeded the quality of their existing materials. Thanks to Elisa's expert guidance, I was able to nearly double my salary and significantly enhance my marketability. Her sharp business acumen and unwavering support have been invaluable!"

Elisa patiently guided me through the process, knowing where to ask for more specificity, where to remove similar or repetitive content and where to showcase more senior-level work and thinking. It was quick and painless and immensely valuable!"
