Bio
Courtney Rousseau, MSEd
Aaron took my Career Planning Strategies course during the fall of 2016 and brought an energy to class that instantly made everyone feel more relaxed and ready to venture into brave spaces focused on professional growth and reflection. For example, he frequently helped break the ice during class discussions and was never afraid to ask questions; Aaron is truly a lifelong learner. His ability to establish rapport and build relationships shined in class as well as during professional networking events. I look forward to seeing how he uses his unique talents in building relationships and creative problem solving as he continues on his professional path.
Julie Mead
Aaron is an extraordinary young man with immense potential. His energy that he has brought to projects along with the desire to build on his skills has been a fantastic help to our department. He is an excellent communicator, asking great questions when he needs additional guidance or direction. He's been more than willing to step in and help even if the task doesn't necessarily fit with what he was brought on to do, embodying one of our company's core values of "Willing to sweep floors". Aaron would be an excellent addition to any design team that is looking for someone with a positive attitude, willingness to work, and some creative ideas.
