——————————-

As a first-generation business owner, navigating the world of government contracting has often felt overwhelming. However, the guidance I’ve received from Mazarine has been truly impactful. She has helped me better understand the process of becoming COBID certified, shared insightful strategies for approaching government contracting, and provided practical networking tips. Her support has extended beyond for training course—she has empowered me to attend networking events and apply what I’ve learned in real-world settings.

For example, the recent training she led, Creating a Successful Networking Strategy, was incredibly helpful. I was able to implement her strategies the very next day at the Westside Small Business and Workforce Open House—my first government contracting event! Thanks to her coaching, I felt comfortable and confident engaging with folks and pursuing meaningful connections.

I wanted to extend my gratitude to both the program and to Mazarine for the exceptional mentorship and encouragement I’ve received so far. Her dedication and expertise have been invaluable to my professional growth and to the development of my business. With gratitude,
