Bio
Paula Meyer
I had the pleasure of meeting Marione Gillone in 2013 as she embarked on her studies as an international student from France. Marion studied the Diploma of Travel and Tourism at Sydney TAFE. From our first encounter Marion impressed me with her positive manner and enthusiasm for studying and tourism as well as her excellent English language skills. I found Marion to be hard working and very intelligent. She has an aptitude for tourism demonstrating skills in marketing, customer service and management. I have no hesitation in recommending Marion and wish her every success in the future.

it is a great honor to provide you with a reference letter for Miss Marion Gillone. Ms. Marion Gillone was member of our volunteer staff from 2012 to 2013. While volunteering at PLAYGROUNDS FOR THE WORLD, she was in charge of content strategy of the organization. Marion Gillone is a competent, intelligent, conscientious and organized employee with excellent interpersonal skills. Not only did she grasp the issues at work, but she was also able to clearly articulate arguments concerning complex questions. It was quickly clear to our team that she is intelligent, articulate and able to quickly analyze complex situations and develop reasonable solutions to otherwise vexing problems. In short, Ms Gillone was an excellent team player, and I have no hesitation in stating that I can vouch to her excellent character and outstanding work ethics. I have no reason to doubt that she would bring these same talents to any employment situation. Sincerely, Tatjana Rhode
