Anna had been super helpful! Every question I have had for her she has had a suggestion and even a solution for! You just have to put in the work as well. She will get you to drive deeper and ask yourself those uncomfortable questions you don't want to. Anna also doesn't have a biased opinion so she will see both views - yours and an outside perspective. I find this helpful because I'm set accountable to figure out what I can do to better the situation. She is also really funny and cheerful which makes her easy to talk to.
I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone. I'm glad I signed up and was paired with her.
