Scott Travis
Annie is fun to work with and always has a great attitude. She never puts her time above anyone else and goes above and beyond to work as a team.
Jeffrey Schoenherr
Annie has a great work ethic and was a terrific employee at the University of Michigan Alumni Association. She effectively managed a large group of alumni clubs; offering service, training, and advice to the alumni volunteers. She manages multiple priorities well and can get things done. Since our time together at the Alumni Association, Annie has successfully transitioned into the development field and now serves as an effective fundraiser for her institution. I offer my full support for her in the field of institutional advancement.
