Beth comes highly recommended by me based on her ability to see projects through with minimal supervision and guidance. She is driven, dedicated and works very well within a team environment, often encouraging others to push beyond their perceived potential to find their greater abilities. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any position that she may seek. It was a pleasure working with her and getting to know her as a person. John

Elizabeth is always enthusiastic about marketing, community outreach and managing events and projects. She is effective with her management style as she creates a positive relationship with every person she interacts with. It has been a pleasure working for her.
