Bio
Ella Mendelovitz
I was initially impressed with Lauren Sharp’s enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when I hired her a year ago as an Office Admin Assistant within Kol Ami’s business office. I heartily endorse her for any similar roles. Lauren is reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. Her ability to get the job done efficiently is unparalleled, and it is because of her excellence in this area that I repeatedly asked her to take on even more challenging assignments. Lauren multitasks effortlessly and is able to handle a high-volume workload. She consistently met or surpassed all weekly tasks including social media and member relations. Of particular value to me as an Office Manager was Lauren’s team player mind-set, enthusiastic embrace of challenges, ability to work with minimal supervision and unwavering commitment to exceeding expectations. Lauren is a hardworking, top-performing professional. She has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to furnish more details if you would like additional information.

From the beginning, Lauren was a valuable member of our team. As a boutique food marketing agency, it is imperative that all our team members are assets. Lauren stood out as one our most talented interns. Lauren held a critical role at The Hot Plate whereby she extended our reach as an influencer and expert in food from both a community and client perspective. What stood out most about Lauren’s work was her writing. After working with her to develop a voice for our social media platform and website, she was able to write compelling articles targeted at our end users and clients. Over the course of her internship, Lauren continued to practice and develop her social media voice; one, which I believe, has become a real asset for future employers.
