Tatiana Whitley
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Katherine. Katherine was the Intern for my department "Corporate Programs", over the Summer of 2012. She has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and professionalism. She assisted the team with the search for possible research partner and coordinated the Scientist for a day event, which was successful. In addition to her integrity, she is someone I can always count on to show up on time and accomplish any task with the outmost professionalism. Her good judgment and mature outlook ensure a logical and practical approach to her endeavors. Katherine would be an asset to any organization, and I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement. Sincerely,
Michael Brownell
Katherine wrote a series of short articles on sustainable energy start-up companies. She researched great companies to write about. Her writing style was clear, concise, and most importantly, enthusiastic; the articles were fun to read. She hit all her deadlines and was just a delight to work with. She made a difference at Dayaway.
