Bio
Lacy Bentley
Malisa has been my supervisor at the Utah County Crisis Line for 7 months. Her professionalism in handling tough callers, organizing volunteers and running the Line as director are top notch. She was also the Research Assistant to a faculty member who's research team I took part in. She lead us in well directed, focused meetings during planning and implementation of the research study. She has managed a full plate academical and professionally with finesse while learning her limits and when to say no. She gives credit to any organization she represents, and is a professional, charismatic leader. Her presentation and public speaking skills rival those of speaking professionals.
