Bio
Rachel Tanner
I had the pleasure to work with Garret at ITEC - Lansing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Garret and came to know him as a truly valuable asset. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, he is an impressively flexible person who easily adapts to changing priorities and tasks. I am able to speak to Garret’s accomplishments at ITEC, and I will take some time to do so. However, I fully believe that Garret’s biggest selling point is his quiet drive to do well. He isn’t overly assertive, or loud, he allows the consistent quality of his work to speak for him. If you hire Garret (which I recommend), you can have confidence in the fact that when he has a project or task, he is going to get it done quickly, and extremely well. Sometimes at ITEC he had to reach out to his network to learn a new skill, or teach himself, as he did with the development and maintenance of our WordPress website. His knowledge of marketing and public relations and expertise in project management was a huge advantage to our entire office. He put this skillset to work in order to develop best practices and guidelines for ITEC’s marketing plan. This included our social media presence across all platforms, which he was also in charge of. Along with his undeniable talent and dedication, Garret has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is funny, good natured, and a true team player. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Garret to join any team.
