Bio
Jill Reid
I had the pleasure of teaching Dallas in two courses, during both of which he demonstrated a keen interest in the subject matter. Dallas was an active, valuable contributor to class discussions, by initiating and challenging ideas, as well as embracing and developing the points raised by others. In addition to visible professional and confident presentation skills, Dallas also demonstrated his capabilities as a reliable and diligent team player, earning the respect of his peers for his enthusiastic contribution to group assignments, which were of a consistently high standard. I would recommend Dallas as a valuable addition to any marketing team.
