I highly recommend Cortney for her exceptional work with students and partnership management. Her ability to connect with adult learners and foster meaningful relationships with partner organizations is truly impressive. Cortney consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that partnership students receive the support and resources they need to succeed. She is a true asset to any organization and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside her.
