I worked with Monica as she shadowed me for my event planning business. As a recent graduate, Monica has a wonderful head on her shoulders. She is reliable, on time, organized, independent and follows directions well. On her first day during a pandemic micro-wedding, she took charge and went right to work. She kept her cool during some of the most intense and stressful parts of the day. Monica has a great attitude even when times get tough and works well with others. I am confident that Monica will continue to be successful in the events/hospitality industry as her career progresses.
