Shanell has always been someone I have looked up to and admired. I knew upon meeting her for the first time, that she was someone I needed to connect with in order to better myself.
Shanell is an exemplary leader that truly understands how to utilize the talents of the people around her to deliver faultless results. Shanell’s mentorship really has aided me in advancing my career in a plethora of ways.
The guidance and resources she has provided me with have helped me lay a professional foundation for myself and attain internships with firms like Booz Allen Hamilton and KPMG. Shanell has led many efforts during her time at Bowie State University to advance the institution and connect successful professionals with students.

Shanell guided me through the job interview process, selflessly sharing knowledge, resources, and connections, which ultimately helped me land my current role! She even conducted a mock interview with me, teaching me how to properly articulate my answers. Her empathy, upbeat energy, and professionalism are unparalleled, which makes working with her enjoyable. I am fortunate to count Shanell among my mentors and close friends.

Shanell Powell is one of the brightest up-and-coming minds in the business world that I know. Even at her young age, she has an innate knack for how the corporate game works and has a plethora of experiences to draw from. Her ability to act, then reflect upon the impact of those actions puts her leagues ahead of not only her peers, but at times those in more senior positions. Shanell has more gifts and talents than what I can list, but the thing that has most impacted me in our work together is Shanell's ability to make me aware of my worth.
As a Black woman, I have absolutely approached salary and pricing conversations with a certain timidness that I see many Black women have. Shanell has empowered me to price myself according to the skill and culture add that I bring to companies, allowing me to bypass opportunities that undervalued me and focus on companies that valued me either at or above the rate that Shanell and I discussed.
Any investment that you make can not compare to the level of value that you will receive. If you are looking for a guide in navigating the corporate waters I recommend Shanell without hesitation!

Consigliere, motivator, and influencer… Shanell Powell is an insightful woman who wears many hats and embodies different strengths. What makes her idiosyncratic is her grace in relationship building, and it is evident in her willingness to extend a helping hand. She has guided and introduced me to many individuals throughout my academic and professional career that have propelled my growth in the finance industry. Without her mentorship, I would not be working for one of the most prestigious financial institutions in the world.” - Loic D. Tchebetchou, Analyst at Goldman Sachs
