"Olivia is very approachable which I thought we had known for ages (But it was our first time chatting). She really spent time discussing every aspect I raised and gave actionable advice. We did meaningful discussion on every aspects and it really helped clarified a lot of enquiries I had on my head. Hence I highly recommend this 1 hour session to other volunteers to redeem." — Josh Li, May 2023

I’m really grateful for this wonderful opportunity offered by Time Auction!" — Michelle Chan, Mar 2022
"Thank you so much for Olivia's time on the 1-2-1 mentorship session. I appreciated her energy and passion. Listening to her sharing the "failure" story experience on how she bounce back takes courage and humility.
