Bio
Maggie Reyland
I have had the pleasure of working with Erin in the Bloch Career Center for a year and a half. Erin manages every aspect of our Employer Relations program and has grown our presence in the Kansas City-area exponentially since our office opened. Erin is organized, hard-working, charismatic, and out-going. I have worked in Career Services for over 10 years and have worked with few individuals who have Erin's level of attention to detail and follow-through. I would highly recommend Erin for any endeavor.
