Bio
Erik Cooke
Casey is one of those rare professionals, who somehow manages to be a specialist and a generalist in all the best ways. I have been privileged to work with her for a decade in a range of roles at Easterseals, the Arc of the US, and American University. Casey is one of the most diligent, capable, curious, and thoughtful people I have ever known or worked with. Despite her accomplishments, she never rests on her many laurels. Not a day has passed in which I haven't seen her try harder, dig deeper, or further polish her work to ensure that it is her best effort. I wholeheartedly endorse her for any role she holds. If you have the opportunity to work with her, grab it.
