My interview with Amber was not only easy, but very informative as well. I was given a straight forward guideline to how to proceed and offered support throughout the entire process! There was no strong-arming, but a gracious and simple approach based on what I want to do with the information given me. The commitment of support, when I am able to begin this program is unquestionable!
