"Everyone [at KPMG] was so genuine which is so hard to believe and find nowadays. I had people who are partners of the company tell me they just wanted me to do better and grow ... they encouraged growth, leadership, and positivity. It was honestly so amazing, and I made so many friends to the point we still keep in touch."

Iā€™m proud to support him in his professional and personal growth, knowing that the guidance I offer today could make a significant difference in his future."


-Julie Kennedy, NAF Career Academy Facilitator, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Academy of Hospitality & Tourism, Class of 2004

"Julie [was] set on supporting me while I build a path from where I am at to where I want to go. She knows what I've set as my career path, Education, and has me working on building the steps needed to get there. Right now, she's looked over my resume and has me applying for anything that gets me in the doors of a school ... I like how direct and focused she is. As well as how she pushes me to get a move on finding a way forward, anyway forward, just that it moves me forward.ā€
