Our Team Testimonials

“My favorite part of working for RWL is watching our students’ confidence build as they progress through our programs. Students are understandably nervous during their first few sessions, but after they have had the chance to do a few interviews, we can really start to see their personalities shine through. That is hands-down the best part for me!”

Shannon Benefield, Executive Producer

“The best part about working with Real World Leaders is meeting students who are just like me. I grew up in Philly and the surrounding areas, smart as a whip but lacking mentorship and direction. I love seeing their faces light up when we actually see them. Engaging with the CEOs and other professionals has also been a wonderful learning experience for me! It’s okay to pivot, but I can still be a doctor when I grow up.”

Tiffani Jones, Program Director

“I’m proud to be part of an organization that values diversity, equity, and inclusion and works tirelessly to provide opportunities to those who need them the most. RWL is not just a workplace; it’s a place where we create meaningful impact and change lives.”

Dawn Tran, Social Media Marketing

“My favorite thing about working with Real World Leaders is that it gives me the opportunity to do meaningful work while my twins are at school, but allows the flexibility I need to prioritize my family as a work-from-home mom.”

Nikki Iadarola, Executive Producer

“I appreciate the flexibility of working from home so I can be more present and available for my family.”

Ilyne Deliquina, Executive Producer
