Bio
Robert White
Elizabeth is a true go-getter. From the moment she began her employment at EPIC, she immediately began providing her input and recommendations to make the PR team stronger and more effective. She also requested more responsibility and workload, something rare at her age. It became clear very early that her work ethic and productivity level was much senior to her age and experience. If given the opportunity again, I would not hesitate hiring Elizabeth to a more senior position that would allow her to expand upon her existing large wealth of knowledge and work experience.

Elizabeth came into a very busy PR environment at EPIC, and proceeded to add many new ideas, creative approaches and enthusiasm for the cause. I enjoyed working with Elizabeth because of her energy. The pace was often hectic, and she jumped in and quickly became a key player in a small group trying to make a big difference in a crowded field. She had fresh ways of developing and pitching stories, and using the web to enhance our marketing programs. It was refreshing to watch her work so deeply in her first job out of college. She really went for it! I have no doubt that Elizabeth will make great contributions to any projects she works on in the future, because of her passion and self-determination to do well, and her very strong skills in communications.
