“I reached out to Stephanie…and I’m so glad I did. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and shared thoughtful, personal insights that went far beyond anything I could’ve found online.

As a student exploring different career paths, I especially appreciated her practical advice on how to reflect on my experiences—like rating how much I enjoyed specific tasks across internships and projects to better understand my interests.

Overall, Stephanie was more than helpful—she’s an excellent communicator, and her energy is genuinely contagious!”

“I came to Stephanie for help with my job search. I had just finished graduate school and was applying to roles in a new industry. I saw Stephanie had experience bringing her unique skillset into different domains. I wanted to know how to do it, too.

Stephanie was inspiring and supportive. She reminded me that my journey is mine to carve. Our conversation helped me remember the great things I've accomplished and made me excited for the future.

Stephanie is very receptive and a good listener. I did not need to sugar-coat the difficult parts of my job search experience. She opened a space in which we both kept it real.”

“I was beginning my freshman year, and wasn’t really sure which direction I wanted to go in in terms of a career path and major.

Ms. Chiang’s bio included that fact that she is the “mother of a rambunctious little boy” and detailed her love for dance, which suggested to me that she wasn’t someone who only cared about her work, but also about having time for family, passions, and an overall work-life balance, which is something I value as well.

She was extremely responsive, clear, and efficient in her communication. Overall, speaking with Ms. Chiang taught me a lot, and I recommend that others do the same.”

“I reached out to Stephanie because I wanted to better understand what skills to focus on early in my career.

Our conversation was incredibly helpful — Stephanie’s positive energy and thoughtful questions pushed me to reflect more deeply on my own priorities and values as I explore career options.

Stephanie provided both big-picture insights as well as concrete, tactical advice which made next steps feel more manageable. Stephanie’s clarity, warmth, and generosity made the conversation both inspiring and grounding.“

“Stephanie was extraordinarily generous with her time and advice when describing her function, skills she thinks are necessary to succeed, and also realistic insights about the job market.

I appreciated the creative metaphors and ample amount of examples of her own experience that really instilled in me the necessity to pitch yourself as someone who can bring value no matter what stage of career development you are in.

Stephanie is full of insights and creativity, and I am very grateful for our conversation.”

“I'd like to thank Stephanie for her advice and the time she devoted to me.

Planning to start my career in the technology industry after my research experience at Stanford, I was wondering how to optimize my internship search.

Stephanie helped me understand what I was really looking for and took the time to identify the different opportunities available to me. In the end, I found some opportunities and had a better idea of what to expect at my interviews.”
