What people are saying.

  • “Simone is one of a kind. She takes initiative in everything that she does. You never have to re-ask or remind her. Furthermore, tasks that weren't even discussed get completed effectively and efficiently. She is a natural leader and isn't scared to actually lead. She successfully put together the most attended Black Tie Event in Black Student Union History; not to mention (to mention) incredibly high attendance numbers per each meeting among other gatherings. She gets her point across all while simultaneously reaching new audiences. I have been privileged to cross paths with Simone and look forward to her continued success. GO Simone!”

    — Alex Davis, Professor and Faculty Advisor at the University of Findlay

  • “Simone has worked as a teacher in our high school summer program for the past several years. There are not many college students I would trust to come back and teach so soon at their Alma Mater, but Simone is a true exception. Her curricular preparation, professional and timely communication, incredibly positive and engaging rapport with students, & collaboration and leadership with other teachers (much her senior) make her a standout and frankly, a staple in our program I’m not sure we could have done without. I am so proud to say I know such an accomplished, driven, thoughtful, hard-working individual. I would love to follow up with more detail for anyone interested.”

    — Morgan Delp, Principal at Toledo Central Catholic High School

  • "Simone was a wonderful addition to our team during her internship. She brought immense insight to our organization regarding social media and branding that allowed Raise the Bar to skyrocket in social media views and interactions. She is very much at ease in social media performance, takes initiative when little direction is given, and exudes positive verbal and written communication skills. Simone is going to be a brilliant asset to any team!"

    — Tricia Valasek, Executive Director at Raise the Bar, Hancock County

  • "I have had the pleasure of teaching and advising Simone over the last few years. She is a remarkable person who is always prepared and active in her education and future. She has extremely strong time management skills. She is able to balance two majors (marketing and psychology), athletics, clubs, volunteering, and internships. On top of all that she is extremely successful in all of these with amazing accomplishments. Simone is a great leader who will continue to do amazing things. I highly recommend Simone because anything she puts her mind to she is successful in and I look forward to seeing all of her great accomplishments in the future."

    Eric Stoller, Assistant Professor of Sport Business and Business Solutions Coordinator at The University of Findlay

  • "I have had the pleasure of working with Simone over the past few years. She has volunteered her time and expertise with our track and field teams at the middle school and high school level. She has been nothing but professional and inspiring to all she has come in contact with. Her knowledge of track and field, expertise in long jump and triple jump, and perspective in the psychology of the sport, has helped many of our runners and jumpers grow in so many ways. She is positive, encouraging and a true team player."
