Bio
Kristin Eicholtz
Amanda is an absolute "gem" to work with. She is a strong presence at DeSales University, especially when it comes to recruiting our Accounting Majors. Amanda is very generous of her time and is committed to representing her company in the best way possible. In addition to scheduling annual On-Campus Interviews, she has spoken to classes and participated in career fairs and resume review days. She has gone above and beyond most Talent Acquisition Specialists, and I know I can always count on quick and timely responses from her and her team!
