Recommendation by former intern, Jack de la Rionda:
“Throughout my internship, Michael provided exceptional guidance. He fostered a professional rapport consisting of invaluable feedback and pointed me in the right direction to autonomously solve problems. Centering his mentorship around the assignment of impactful projects, Michael genuinely invested in my development in terms of both skill-building and my own creative ideation. I found Michael’s supervision to be incredibly meaningful for both my interpersonal and technical growth. The cumulation of his patient, empathetic management style resulted in the successful completion and presentation of multiple strategy projects to executives, and my individual development within the workplace.
