Bio
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be classmates, sorority sisters, and friends with Chase throughout college. Chase is extremely dedicated to her commitments, whether it be her schoolwork at The University of Georgia, her relationships with high school students through Young Life, or her progress as a fitness instructor at Crunch Fitness. In the time that I've known her, I have seen her not only achieve the goals she has set for herself, but rather exceed them. She is one of the most hardworking and enthusiastic people I know and her dedication to excellence sets her apart. Chase would be an asset to any company.
Chase and I have worked together in group projects on several occasions and she is an excellent teammate. Not only is she a hard worker, but she also has great vision for going above and beyond. We have received great scores on all of our projects in the past and I have no doubt that Chase played a huge role in that outcome. If you're looking for a creative team player who is sharp and organized, look no further. In addition, she is also a joy to be around and has a great heart for other people with a knack for encouragement. Just icing on the cake!
