Alex trained me as a new employee at Pacific Communications on the media team and was very thorough making it easy to understand. Her upbeat personality also made the training enjoyable.
Sandra Lee L.
Alex is a creative professional who can adapt to any project or situation that is put in front of her. She is always "thinking outside the box" when asked for ideas or solutions for the company. She puts the extra time and effort into these initiatives. Her presentation and design is remarkable. I had the pleasure of working with Alex at a prior bank where she was passionate to grow in her career. I'm excited to see where it takes her. She attended a marketing compliance banking program as a way to ensure the bank was covered in all aspects of communication & marketing for clients. A notable project that Alex had was to revamp the company website. The work she put into this speaks for itself. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again! She's an asset to any company.
