Bio
Milli Protheroe
Cicily is one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever encountered in my 14 year career in nonprofits. She possesses an unmatched drive to succeed and holds herself to higher standards than any supervisor ever could. Cicily could always be relied upon to complete tasks and projects with efficiency and precision, all while ensuring that she provided appropriate stewardship to those involved. The end result was dozens of new school programs developed and countless lives changed. She never hesitated to dive in where needed and showed an innate ability, not only to lead, but to inspire other to do the same. Cicily would be a valuable asset to any workplace or team looking for someone who will not just meet expectations but exceed them.
Vicky Sawyer
Cicily is uniquely focused, results-oriented, and persuasive. She worked as an office assistant and career ambassador for 3.5 years in the Washington College Center for Career Development where I served as her supervisor. Her work ethic, professional attitude and presentation were a hallmark as she served as a leader and role model for other students. Her ability to anticipate potential challenges, develop strategies, and take the lead in organizing and keeping a myriad of programs on target was exceptional. Her enthusiasm and commitment to equity and inclusion of all students enabled her to represent career services in classrooms, with athletic teams, and with student groups. This team work and her dedication to the campus Best Buddies program led to her exceptional work with the national Best Buddies program. She will bring her best self and impressive array of skills to any task or position she assumes. Don't miss an opportunity to see her in action. Vicky Sawyer
