I highly recommend Julia as the best student support professional I have ever encountered. Julia is truly an exceptional individual. She not only responds promptly, even during her time off, but consistently delivers high-quality work. She goes above and beyond by offering thoughtful advice and actionable plans tailored to my specific needs. Her approach to student support transcends the typical role—Julia becomes a source of emotional strength and encouragement for those she helps. I am confident that Julia will continue to positively impact many more students in the future, and I am genuinely grateful to have had the opportunity met with her.
