Bio
Cori Davis
I had the pleasure of managing Philicia when she worked as our VIP Services Intern. From the start, I developed a very high regard for Philicia based on her eagerness to learn all facets of the department. Philicia was able to follow complex directions, and worked very independently without close supervision. As a full-time graduate student, Philicia displayed impressive time management skills between school and work. Philicia’s upbeat demeanor and ambitious attitude was always very refreshing. I know her strong interpersonal and communication skills will allow her to network effectively with employees and clients. I look forward to hearing about Philicia’s growth throughout her career.
