“Rebekah has been an outstanding employee. She asks the right questions to learn what needs to be done, then follows through on projects with minimal supervision. Her work rarely, if ever, has errors. She is extremely reliable and has been a huge asset to our office.

I’ve also worked with her on a community event. I was the event chair for the 2011 Relay For Life of Brazos County. Rebekah volunteered to be our marketing committee chair and did an outstanding job. It was a great experience to be able to work with her in that capacity too.” June 2, 2011

“I had the privilege of working with Rebekah throughout the Summer of 2010. At that time, I was Head of Sales & Marketing for Residence Member's Club, and Rebekah was placed as a PR and Marketing intern who worked very closely with me. 

Rebekah did a fantastic job in this position and was an asset to the company during her tenure with Residence. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, can work independently, and is able to effectively multi-task to ensure that all projects are completed in a timely manner. 

I was consistently impressed with Rebekah's attitude and productivity during her time at Residence and I was sorry to see her go. She would be an asset to any employer and I highly recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.” July 24, 2011
