Creative Thoughts

“Over the past two years, Marney has served as an unwavering pillar of support in my role as a Resident Assistant, and in my personal life as well. She has consistently offered guidance and advice when I needed support in addressing resident conflict, hall policy violations, and other issues that came up in the job. She was also very willing to mentor me with some of my own personal challenges, and often reminded me to engage in self-care to ensure that I was presenting my best self in the work I was doing and in my personal life. She often reminded me that it is OK to make mistakes, so long as I learn from them and take steps to move forward. Without her consistent support and care I know I wouldn't have been able to do nearly as good a job in the role, and I am constantly appreciative of her for that support!”

“I had the opportunity to work with Marney at UC Berkeley for the past three years. Throughout those years, Marney was an exceptional and caring mentor. In that capacity, she has guided me through several career and personal development milestones, including my acceptance to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Marney is thoughtful in her coaching approach, displaying both professionalism and compassion. Beyond being a mentor and coach, Marney was also a friend.” –T.T., University of California, Berkeley
