"Lauren shows a tremendous curiosity. She asks great questions and is a strong researcher. Her research notes are complete and concise. She is also impressive on the phone. I’ve overheard her doing calls and found her to be poised, engaging and thorough. I’d trust her with sensitive work that I wouldn’t dream of giving to another intern.

"What is most striking about Lauren is her attitude. I seldom encounter someone who possesses such an unwavering positive spirit. Lauren was the one in the office who kept everyone’s energy going and encouraged the team to set and reach new goals. She was an asset to our group and I am confident she will be a great addition to any team."

"Lauren was a great asset to our company, and we were so sad to see her go! She is a hard worker who is eager to get involved anywhere she is needed and give it her all. She has a lot of technical knowledge, which came in handy on our social media and website projects. But even if she isn't familiar with something, she is quick to figure it out and jump right in. Lauren has solid writing skills. Lauren was always reliable, even though she was balancing a challenging school schedule and many extracurricular commitments. She handled a lot of responsibilities for "Family Travel," and she did it well. She was also a pleasure to work with. She was eager to learn, and it was always fun to have her in the office. Lauren has a bright future ahead of her. Any organization that she decides to work for in the future will be lucky to have her!"
