Amy was selected for this award because she has been an incredible asset to the college through her strong organizational and time-management skills, which have kept both departments on track in all they need to accomplish. In addition to these strengths, Amy is an effective communicator, a creative problem solver and a proactive team player, as she is able to anticipate and complete the next task before anyone asks her to do it.
Through all of her diligent work, Amy manages to maintain a positive attitude in every situation, and is constantly challenging herself to learn new things and develop her own skills, setting a great example to all who come in contact with her.
