Unlock Your Potential

Nila possesses a remarkable ability to listen intently and understand the nuances of one's career situation. She provided tailored advice that was not only relevant to my field but also aligned with my personal strengths and interests. What set Nila apart was her commitment to offering guidance that was actionable and empowering. She encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, which led to opportunities I had previously not considered.

The advice given by Nila was a mixture of industry knowledge, personal experiences, and an understanding of the current job market. This holistic perspective was invaluable in helping me navigate my career path with confidence. Thanks to her mentorship, I have made significant strides in my career, including landing a role that seemed out of reach before our discussions.

Beyond the practical advice, Nila's encouragement and positive outlook have had a lasting impact on my professional attitude and approach. She has a gift for boosting one's confidence and fostering a growth mindset, which I believe is crucial for anyone looking to advance in their career.

I am profoundly grateful for the career advice and support provided by Nila. Her guidance has been a catalyst for my professional development, and I highly recommend Nila to anyone seeking thoughtful and effective career advice. Her expertise and dedication to helping others grow professionally is truly commendable.”

I first showed up to an HGPSG meeting in the second half of a school year, and she welcomed my involvement with open arms, even encouraging me to take the lead in organizing an upcoming graduation celebration event for the university. It required complex coordination with a large volunteer team, active communication with the student bodies at 12 schools, contracts with vendors, management of speakers, and many other tasks. Nila gave me direction and answered questions as they came up but trusted me to run with it, relying on my own style and skill sets. The event was a success, and I could not have done it without her.

This was just the start. Leadership of HGPSG involved broad responsibility and navigating complex webs of relationships, and Nila set the example I would ultimately follow. She demonstrated how to hold an organization together through interpersonal challenges and how to build relationship networks at graduate schools with very diverse cultures and ambitions. I learned how to navigate the university’s administration, communicate effectively with large public audiences, and provide opportunities for others to step up. Through her leadership and mentorship, Nila was unfailingly caring, inspiring, unifying, and visionary.

More than a mentor, Nila has been a great friend through ups and downs. If you are able to get her perspective on issues you’re facing, she will help you achieve any goal. Don’t pass up the opportunity!”

Prior to our sessions, I felt stuck and disconnected from what I was actually searching for. Through her unique ability to blend analytical insight from her legal training with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach rooted in her medical background, Dr. Devanath offered a holistic path forward that felt both grounded and empowering.

Her unique skill set is rare, and her ability to guide with both precision and empathy made all the difference. I’m deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity, and growth.
