Someone who is dedicated.

I interned with SBC Advertising during Winter quarter 2012, and came back in the Spring when they asked me to.

And didnt get paid a penny.

Someone who is dedicated.

I held 3 leadership positions in PRSSA

At the same time.

Someone who works hard.

I have known Ms. Sundermeier since September 2011 and have seen first-hand her ability to meet customer needs, positive attitude, creativity, and flexibility. Throughout our work together, Ms. Sundermeier always conducted herself with a high level of professionalism. Additionally, Ms. Sundermeier worked with our staff on a consistent basis in relation to making our materials flexible to meet a variety of audiences including parents, youth, OSU faculty and staff, and the general public. Her flexibility was one of her greatest assets to our work together.
