Natascha, Founder of The Youth Career Coach™, really helped me hone in my particular skill sets that would not only help for colleges to see the best me, but allow for future employers to witness all that I could bring in the future. She provided a foundation for which I could grow upon as the years went on."

"I have known Natascha Saunders, Founder of The Youth Career Coach™, for several years. What I really respect and appreciate about her is the unique gift she has to motivate and empower everyone she meets. Natascha is a great communicator and public speaker. She always has wonderful ideas and advice to give, especially to those like myself, who are more quiet and introverted. For example, I learned ways to network and seek the career opportunities I want using her ideas with my personal style of communicating. Natascha is, overall, a great mentor and I would recommend her to anyone who asks."
