I had the privilege of having Jennifer work for me as a Sales Intern. Jennifer's attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond the job expectations and 'can do' attitude would make her an asset to any organization. I had outlined several projects for Jennifer to work on and within six weeks it became evident that she was going to complete the work early and would need more projects to work on! Her enthusiasm is contagious and she excels in every task set forth. Any organization would be fortunate to have Jennifer work for them.
