A Name Worth Remembering.
“Emily picked things up quickly, asked thoughtful questions, and learned as she went. She was always willing to jump in, help where she could, and contribute to the team. Along the way, she was enterprising in building relationships across the organization and led meetings with key Client Experience partners. Her strong work ethic, wayfinding, and tenacity are skills that will only continue to grow. In her tenure supporting CX we appreciated Emily for the energy, curiosity, and perspective she brought to our team.”
— Barry Hastings | Compeer Financial, CX Specialist“Emily was truly a joy to work with. Her curiosity, follow-through, and ability to take the lead made a real difference for our team. She would be a strong addition to any team, and our team was fortunate to have her with us this summer.”
— Joel Tostado | Compeer Financial, CX Specialist“Emily is an outstanding, motivated and self-driven individual who consistently demonstrates professionalism, initiative and leadership. I had the pleasure of working closely with Emily during her time at Black Hawk College, where she served as a student ambassador for the East Campus. She represented the college with exceptional poise and provided guidance and support to the ambassador team. She adapted quickly to the ever-changing nature of prospective student engagement, confidently leading campus tours and actively engaging with students and their families. Emily is an asset to any team!”
— Haley Howerton | BHC East, Campus Recruiter “Emily was an outstanding member of our Marketing & PR team at Black Hawk College. As an East Campus student, our team relied on her to create East Campus-specific content, engage with students, and promote our Marketing & PR efforts and the positive work of our team. Emily was a crucial asset for us, especially since we are based at a different campus. She regularly took the initiative with her writing and content creation projects, demonstrating reliability, creativity, strong independent decision-making, and professionalism. Her contributions were invaluable, and we greatly miss having her as our East Campus liaison. She will be hard to replace!”
— Lindsay Row | BHC, Director of Public Relations and Marketing“Emily’s capstone research project that she completed under my tutelage changed the way I think about recruiting and marketing as well as influenced institutional level change. For someone so young to have the dedication, intelligence, and zeal to effect positive change at such a high level is beyond impressive. Add to this her impressive resume of involvement and academic achievements, and you clearly have someone in the top 1% of students I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my 20 year teaching tenure.”
— Prof. Stewart | BHC, Professor of Natural Sciences and Engineering“Emily spent the summer working for the Research Department with Wyffels Hybrids as an intern in 2025. My interactions with Emily were both pleasant and informative and she demonstrated good communication skills when having conversations. The nature of a corn breeding project is one with many “twists and turns” both for changing weather and changing priorities from day to day. Emily was able to adapt well to plan for shifting project timelines and changing schedules and met challenges and requests head on to accomplish tasks that were assigned to her. She asked good questions when things were unclear and was an asset to our summer program. I appreciated her contributions to our root digs and notetaking activities as wish her well in her future endeavors.”
