"Before Jerin's help, I was not getting results in my internship and job applications because I didn't have a standard resume. After Jerin's help, I was able to create a strong resume, felt more confident in using LinkedIn to network, and landed myself an internship."

"I have seen Jerin's organizing capabilities first-hand. She single-handedly created the first totally on-line chapter for the National Organization for Women (NOW). As the chapter's first president, Jerin not only brought NOW members together from around the country, but organized webinars, on-line meetings, and action events both on-line and on the ground. Jerin has shown her interests include a broad spectrum of progressive issues, including women's rights, confronting violence and bullying, confronting religious intolerance, and promoting education for women and girls."

"Jerin Arifa has made me confident and has empowered me to own my space. She guided me on how to become a activist from ground up. When I first wanted to start becoming an activist, I was never taken seriously for the work I wanted to do because I’m a teenager. Jerin however, was the first person who treated me with the same kindness and respect for my ideas as she did for adults. I am beyond grateful to have Jerin in my life because without her, I wouldn’t have the self-confidence that I have today. She has been my mentor and has exceptional skills to end gender discrimination and sexual harassment. I have no doubt that whatever Jerin sets her mind to, she will lead with grace, passion, and strength."

Jerin is determined to leave the world a better place than she found it. A consummate advocate for gender equality, she has truly dedicated her life to promoting intersectional feminism and combating all forms of discrimination. I am so grateful that she encouraged me to join the community of young feminists in the first virtual chapter of NOW, since she has been an invaluable resource of guidance and inspiration for myself and the rest of the chapter. Jerin is kind and relatable, but still a force to be reckoned with; she is changing society for the better, one training at a time.

"Jerin ... built a completely new channel for us. With very little direction, she built a very successful new business for us ... she drove over 75 new leads per month and 40 deals. Over the course of the year ... she helped drive $1 million in new business.
Jerin can take the outline of an idea and build a complete plan. She draws on her experience, pulls ideas from others and formulates a step-by-step executable plan. She continually exceeded all expectations.
... a dynamic individual that will make an immediate impact on the business."

"Jerin started with me and built a completely new channel for us. With very little direction, she built a very successful new business for us. In doing so she drove over 75 new leads per month and 40 deals. Over the course of the year in 2013, she helped drive $1 million in new business.
Jerin can take the outline of an idea and build a complete plan. She draws on her experience, pulls ideas from others and formulates a step-by-step executable plan. She continually exceeded all expectations.
