Don Runk

I highly recommend Donna Styron, having worked with her for nearly 3 years as Underwriting Director at Flagler College. She volunteered as a DJ, handled Music Director duties, promotions, live broadcasts, and more. Attention to detail, always punctual, a student of music, and a very good actress, as well. You would do well to have Donna on your team.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Donna Styron at WFCF 88.5 Flagler College Radio, where we were Music Directors. Ms. Styron's tireless work ethic was apparent while she balanced her responsibilities at the radio station, a full load of courses and a job outside of school without ever missing a beat. Ms. Styron is extremely kind and will go out of her way to help anyone, and I wish there were more people like her in the world. I recommend her whole-heartedly and any employer of Ms. Styron's can be assured that she will always give 100%!
