Elizabeth Stehlik
Renee is an absolute joy to work with. We worked together in the Residence Halls at Iowa State University, me as a Community Adviser, she as the President of the floor. We worked together in this capacity for two years, and we got along very well. Renee is extremely driven, confident, fun, personable and excellent at completing the task at hand. She works well with others and demonstrates impressive event planning skills. Renee can juggle many tasks and execute them all effectively. She is a very impressive woman, and I know that whoever is fortunate enough to have her on their team will realize how special she is.
