Recommendations
David Hite, Bailey's teacher at Virginia Intermont College
Bailey is a very enthusiastic, creative, and engaged student who I recommend strongly. I've seen her take initiative on various class and community projects with very little direction. Her people skills and attitude are some of her greatest strengths. She is the type of person that every organization or team needs.
Sue Wilson, Bailey's manager at Green Templeton College
Bailey performed exceptionally in her role during the 18 months that I was her line manager. This was a new role and she definitely made it her own, bringing lots of fresh ideas and creativity.
She turned around the existing College social media channels, significantly increasing levels of engagement. She also introduced new channels including Instagram and Twitter, working hard to establish them and build their profiles.
She has very strong technical skills which raised the level of our communications: for example, she created a new, branded html newsletter template in a mail manager programme for internal circulation.
She has strong and flexible writing skills and an ability to find the right tone for whatever communications channel she is writing for. This is also reflected in her verbal communications.
Bailey was an excellent ambassador for the College, both at meetings and at high-profile College events such as the annual alumni reunion. She is always highly professional yet friendly and has strong social skills, dealing particularly well with difficult people.
