Bio
Elisha (Bender) Fontana
I had the pleasure of working with Tessa on Student Activities Commission (SAC). In her role as Financial Affairs Committee Chair, she led a team of ten students to prepare quarterly budgets for student organization funding. She led interviews and ran meetings with extreme efficiency. She not only prepared the budget, but was also responsible for presenting it to the SAC general body, which she also did very well. Tessa was extremely diligent and hard-working in this role. She always came to meetings prepared, and as her manager I relied heavily on her skills to complete a wide variety of tasks. Tessa stood up for the ideas that she believed in, and worked hard to serve the needs of student organizations at Ohio University. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Tessa again in any capacity. She is an outstanding individual, and would be a valuable contribution to any organization. I see no reason why Tessa will not go extremely far in her career.
