Sunny has been an amazing person in my life. I don't get to see her often, and we don't talk regularly, but she's always there with tons of energy, a unique perspective, compassion and care, and a positive outlook on life. These are incredible gifts to give anyone. Just having conversations with her has elevated my understanding of the business world.

She has helped me to see things I wouldn't have, know things that I'd never encounter, and feel like I have a friend to consult whenever I have professional issues—not that I have, but I feel it coming on soon. I've never actually hired Sunny, though I look forward to it someday (when I have a real job again).

I would absolutely recommend Sunny to my colleagues. I know her mostly as a crack high-end employee searcher, but lately she has also been an organizer/project manager par excellence.

What I value most about Sunny's approach is her ability to quickly and intuitively understand people and their needs—even when they can't articulate them well. Her ability to match people to the right organization and role. Her network.
