Bio
Dan Giddings
I had the pleasure of working under Mikayla during her time at Goodman Career and also as a teammate on the Goodman JDCC team. Mikayla is a extremely passionate individual who brings energy and enthusiasm to all of her endeavours. I witnessed Mikayla's presentation skills and comfort level grow over our 4 months of practice for the Goodman JDCC team. Mikayla was a large reason why her team was one of the strongest academic teams sent to the competition by Goodman. She is very organized as she is very involved at Goodman, and I would think she would make a great fit at any organization looking for a young business professional on her way to a leadership role in the future.
