what our PATH community is saying

“Shanikqua, you have done so much for me. You really did instill the confidence in me to believe this wasn’t some far fetched idea. That there’s more out there. From all the calls and texts during the interview process to allowing me to join path, you have been amazing and I couldn’t thank you enough! I know how busy you are, from family to work and everything in between. It’s means the world that you would take your time and effort to help me out. Thank you!”
