“I met Isabel Sanchez in 2013. She has a magical way to make people feel engaged and inspired right from the get go. By the beginning of 2014 we began to work together and from day one she has encouraged me to explore my true potential. She has a loving and caring personality, and is always inspiring people to trust themselves and to put their skills in service to others. As a woman, a mother, and active community member and a professional I am proud to have had Isabel as a mentor, a supervisor, a colleague and a friend.”
