“I had the opportunity to have Caroline as an advisor and mentor while attending UNE. She was a driving force behind my path to success. Her ability to reach out and connect with valuable resources is impeccable. She knows how to connect people in the direction of their career paths. She understands each individual and takes what she learns about them and turns it into success through her connections/networking. ”

“Caroline and I worked closely as part of a innovative pilot program for digital sciences at University of New England. Her work there showed me that she understands not only the technical aspects of computer science but is able to draw from her network of industry professionals to help inspire people of all ages in all kinds of digital careers. She is a great listener, is passionate about her work, and has a supportive approach.”

“Caroline is focused like a laser on how individuals at all walks of life can grow into fulfilling STEM careers.  She is deeply connected with the technology and education communities and is an an excellent resource for anyone looking at the STEM professions.”

“Caroline is passionate, high energy, and has this unique ability to empower students of any age to identify and clarify realistic career goals. Caroline teaches students how to focus on their job search which always results in a great paid internship or first professional dream job.  It is truly a pleasure to watch this engagement and amazing professional growth .......and of course see the exciting results.”

“I approached Caroline because I was interested in working in a cyber security career. Caroline asked challenging questions which forced me to look at what I really wanted and then she helped me get there. The result was that I was hired by a large local company in a field I love. One thing I liked was Caroline’s ability to listen and ask pertinent questions so she can understand what inspires me in terms of my career.  Once she understood what I was looking for, she pointed me in the direction I needed to go. I found the experience worthwhile and even challenging as I needed to step outside my comfort zone - the results were well worth it. I would recommend Caroline to people who need information about how to get that dream career going.”

“It was an eye-opening opportunity to meet Caroline.  I came from Rwanda to Maine and found the IT field interesting and complex but I wasn’t sure which step to take until we started working together on my career path.  Caroline helped me better understand what jobs were out there, refine my resume to translate my experience to the US job market, and uncover jobs that fit my interests and skills.  She even brought me with her to networking and career events which helped me make connections with people in the community.  Caroline’s approach is unique, it’s not only about her knowledge of STEM careers and jobs, but it is the quality of the conversation that focuses on what inspires you.”

“Caroline Dennis has played an invaluable role in assisting students in exploring future opportunities at the Maine Cyber Security Cluster (MCSC). One of her roles at MCSC was to connect students to employers and future academic opportunities. She worked with me in exploring both options and took the time to ask me about my interests and aspirations. Caroline helped me get my first job in a career that I care about. Caroline’s knowledge of the industry and her networking skills will be invaluable for any student or professional seeking internships and careers in STEM.”
