    "I couldn't be more grateful for my experience with Mariana. I came into coaching feeling overwhelmed as I tried to navigate the highly complex dynamics of corporate. I'm a neurodiverse, first-generation professional woman and I was seeking a coach who would understand me both personally and professionally. Through her coaching, I was able to set and define clear goals, identify my "why," and reframe my disempowering beliefs to confidently distinguish what I bring to the table. Everything I gained from our coaching has allowed me to continue excelling in my career."
