TESTIMONIALS
"My dream was always to do grad studies abroad. Sofi was one of the first people to support me and even encourage me to follow my dreams. Talking to her made me feel more secure. She told me that she could check my letters and my application That was the only thing I needed at that moment--someone who believed in my project, supported me, gave me confidence and security to put into words everything that was in my head and in my heart."
María Fernanda Rosas Corona, student of the master's degree in animal sciences with a specialization in ecology and conservation, Wageningen University & Research, Holland.
"Sofía's advice was an essential part of finding a place in a foreign university and being able to do the master's degree that I always wanted. With her I was able to organize my ideas because I had no idea what the process would be like. In addition to giving me much more self-confidence and guiding me, she was the one who was with me for a month writing my letter of interest. Thanks to her teachings and guidance, I was admited in the program and started my program at the university I always wanted. I am deeply grateful to her."
Tatiana Lara, Master of Communications student, Queen's James L. Knight School of Communication, USA.
"Talking with Sofía helped me to have greater clarity on fundamental details of the life of a graduate student, allowing me to make better and informed decisions. I am referring, above all, to answers that are not found on university websites or in formal interviews. Her help allowed me to live with much more peace of mind my decision to travel from Oxford to California to continue my doctoral studies."
Cristóbal--Ph.D. in Anthropology, University of California, Davis, USA.
"Sofía was always attentive and shared her own experience with me, helping me to be calmer and more confident. Sofía is very empathetic. She is always willing to listen, understand and feel what one is expressing. I was (and am) fortunate to have been able to meet her in a process that is both challenging and exciting."
Iván Montenegro, PhD candidate in anthropology, University of California, Davis, USA.
