Bio
Sarah Goetz
I worked with Chris for a short period of time before moving to another department. Right off the bat, he was energetic and always willing to learn. He was able to complete tasks with minimal supervision and worked hard at all times. Chris was a great colleague to work with.

Chris Bladek was an excellent co-op student, showing great initiative, enthusiasm and dedication. He repeatedly demonstrated his talent for developing new ideas, taking the time and care required for detailed projects, and was always willing to volunteer, even if it meant getting dirty. His level of enthusiasm and dedication is rare among his peers, and combined with his positive outlook, sense of humour, and desire to learn, I would highly recommend him as an employee who can be counted on to get the job done.
