TESTIMONIALS
Ann Greaney-Williams
Graduate Academic Program Administrator at Harvard University
Elle shows great potential in her design and marketing skills, as well as her interviewing skills. She uses effective strategies to break down problems and hash out solutions, focusing projects to make them not only cover what is needed, but add creativity and flair to the output.
She thinks critically of the intention of design product, evaluates what type of media would be most effective, and plans strategy to accommodate the needed end product.
I cannot recommend Elle enough. She would make a great addition to any office.
Ezi Adesi
Director of Adult Basic Education at Literacy Network
I had the luxury of working with Elle as her immediate supervisor for several months during her stint as an Intern. I found her to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and punctuality.
. . .Elle showed great leadership and was a joy to have around the office. I admired how she quickly adapted to changes in programming and was able to make very sound decisions with very small windows of time.
Among Elle’s many qualities that lead to her success during her internship, I primarily attribute her success to her ability to develop relationships with her clients.
Elle’s interpersonal communication skills and ability to make others comfortable was outstanding. Even in tense situations, I saw Elle demonstrate poise and keep others motivated and persistent.
