“Wanda is one of my very few "go to" professionals (and friends) whom I can count on to give me excellent business advice, no matter what the topic. Her expertise in the HR and entrepreneurship worlds is exceptional. But Wanda is also well rounded; she excels in many facets of business and industry. Further, her work ethic, as evidenced by her commitment to her clients and our community, is a model for young college grads today. I give my Professional Development students an assignment to informally interview a local business professional who is doing something similar to what they'd like to be doing in about 10 years. Students consistently report gaining more insight from this assignment than anything else they do all semester. As Wanda has been kind enough to agree to be interviewed, I believe she will be giving one lucky student a great deal of valuable material to think and write about.”
