Recommendations

Here’s what Merit users have said about Guedis

Guedis was a great help. He helped answer the questions that I had coming in and he expanded on his answers with lots of great resources. It was very easy and comfortable talking to him. He gave specific actions I could take right away to help my career journey. He was able to take some of his experiences and relate them to help me out. I would highly recommend him.
