Amanda is an incredibly organized professional that can effectively manage numerous individuals while remaining focused on objectives. She is hard working, courteous and strategic. Amanda is definitely an asset for fast-paced and intensive environments. I've had the luxury to learn and improve my skill set thanks to her guidance.

Amanda has been a great mentor and role model for me. I have known her now for 2 years, and she has done a great job running the Ambassador's program through the Career Centre at the Telfer School of Management. Without a doubt, Amanda has helped me greatly with my own career decisions that I have had to make throughout my studies at Telfer. She gives amazing advice and I have loved working with her at the Career Centre.
