Alan Stein
I am proud to recommend to your attention a former staffer in our firm, Ms. Devanny King. Her thorough and tireless work ethic and commitment to excellence far exceed others of her peer group with whom I've had contact. Devanny is thoughtful, organized and has an uncanny ability to always follow through.
Laura McDonald
Devanny became an integral part of the SteinGroup team during her summer 2015 internship. Her dedication to successfully completing what was requested of her, and more, allowed us to increase our production and achieve positive results for consulting clients. Her support ranged from research of detailed concepts to execution of social media strategy. Based on her work quality, I would love the opportunity to work with Devanny again in the future!
