Bio
Jen McGuire
Talented and versatile, Morgan's impressive skillset make her an asset to any organization before you even consider her ability to successfully tackle new challenges and gracefully adapt to change. As the Marketing Coordinator at Unified Smiles, Morgan's eye for design elevated our brand, her edits significantly improved our writing, and her ability to juggle an extensive project list kept everything (and everyone around her) organized. AND she's a pleasure to work with! If I was building a team, Morgan would be my first recruit.

I had the pleasure of hiring and working closely with Morgan during her extended internship at Baker Industries. As part of a small marketing department, we are all expected to wear many hats and master many skills. Her versatile skillset was exactly what I look for in a candidate and Morgan truly exceeded my expectations in her competence for all things marketing and creative. She is an excellent photographer and graphic designer. She is also very creative conceptually and was able to take very vague and abstract ideas and turn them into complete and finished products. Beyond her proficiency is a very sweet and genuine demeanor, which makes working with Morgan an absolute joy. You can feel her passion in her work. Her dependability has allowed me peace of mind on several occasions when I when I was out of the office for tradeshows, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly in my absence. Morgan has earned my highest recommendation, and would be a valuable asset to any team!
