She's a true professional with a keen ear. She is a warm, encouraging, and patient teacher. I only wish we had more time together on the mentorship programme. However, I would recommend her to anyone who is getting started with product development because she will definitely help you find structure and give you good advice for any roadblocks in your path.”

I followed up with an insightful portfolio review with so many great actions I could take on immediately. I've been in the industry almost a decade and haven't gotten feedback as constructive as Michelle's. 10/10 Would recommend!”

What exactly is a session?
