In the short time I have known Bernadette, I’ve been deeply inspired by her personal passion and the transformative work she does.

Her approach, which blends technical excellence with a strong faith-driven perspective, brings meaningful change without ever compromising on integrity.

What truly resonates with me is how her work encourages me personally. As someone who is also passionate about faith and helping others unlock their full potential, I find Bernadette’s dedication both uplifting and motivating. She leads with warmth, clarity, and a sincere desire to serve. Her genuine nature, paired with her solution-oriented mindset, challenges me to continue growing and showing up with purpose in both my professional and personal life.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bernadette to anyone seeking a leader who not only brings strategic insight and expertise but also leads with heart, vision, and a deep commitment to the people she serves. She’s the kind of person who inspires transformation by simply being who she is—anchored in faith, driven by purpose, and committed to making a lasting impact.

I served as a Program Mentor to Bernadette while she pursued her MBA-ITM (2022-2023).
Bernadette is highly motivated and always displayed a high degree of integrity and responsibility. She completed the rigorous MBAIT program at Western Governors University (WGU) with minimum supervision while accelerating through the program. Her written and verbal skills are of the highest caliber.

Bernadette has great time management skills. She did an excellent job of balancing the responsibilities of work, school, and life in general. Based on her performance at WGU, I am very confident that Bernadette will excel in any endeavor that she chooses.
