As a supervisor for Ian in the Grants Office at Antioch University Seattle, I am pleased to give him a professional recommendation. He takes a big picture, visionary approach to projects and has proven to be a responsible, ethical, and reliable employee. He is also an energetic and inspiring self-starter. Ian initiates new ways of capturing a potential sponsor's interest while maintaining the integrity of a project plan so that we can find a mutually beneficial match.I have witnessed Ian exhibit the qualities of a strong leader who inspires teams to move forward in a collaborative way.
