Halina is a scholar of life and can readily speak on many topics. She actively engages knowledge acquisition with curiosity and fluid assimilation. She has a unique ability to interview, understand and reflect meaning, all while remaining open and empathetic. Her compassionate and curious nature, combined with her clinical knowledge and skills, as well as her command of the tenets of ethical behavior uniquely position her to be a leader in her field.

Halina has a strong command of pedagogy and effective teaching techniques. She is innovative, creative and effective in her work, very well organized, has an excellent eye for detail, and is a good writer and communicator. I have often used her as an example for the others on the Teaching Team. She is able to bring a difficult concept down to the learners’ perspectives and helps them to create their own meaning and understanding.

Halina is well-read, curious, and passionate about the profession of counseling. She has a clear vision of advocacy for students – meeting each learner where they are and supporting them well. Her tone is energetic, affirming, and positive. Halina already is making inroads in Arizona through her policy work-- I'm excited at her prospect as a future counselor educator. The sky's the limit for her and I'll endorse any recommendation she seeks in her own career development.

Halina, I just wanted to write you a quick note to say thanks for all your help over the past few months. I’ve really enjoyed the labs, they were a tremendous encouragement to me. I was incredibly nervous about my college journey, I’m the first in my family to attempt it and I’m coming into it with only a GED. The atmosphere you created in the labs made me feel comfortable with asking all the questions that I probably wouldn’t have asked otherwise. I’ve appreciated all of your insight, thanks again for all your help!

Halina, Your talk was the most important & meaningful I've heard at this conference. I'm a fat, diabetic doctor & I've felt excluded from this movement & from my profession. Your talk was so brave and eloquent and I would love to hear more from you!
