Following are recommendations from coworkers (current and formal) and supervisors.
"While her performance is always impressive, the work ethic and drive she demonstrated when leading a project team to create a mentoring program at SWVTC is remarkable. She worked tirelessly as project coordinator to help design the structure of the program and gain approval from administration in only two weeks. After approval she designed a marketing campaign to promote the program and has continued to research mentoring techniques and share her information and insight with the team. Her efforts and expertise led her to become the mentor for the rest of the team members, and we all rely on her for support and advice. No matter how busy she is, Crystal is always willing to find time to help her coworkers in any capacity." -Katherine K.W. Newman, MA, CCC-SLP
"Crystal did a tremendous job in her first role at SWVTC utilizing her problem solving and relationship skills to streamline many processes used at the center. Crystal also served as a valued member of the 'Creative Idea Committee' where she not only helped other employees' ideas become a reality, but she was also able to get many of her own implemented. Through her time spent serving on this committee she regularly conveyed intuitiveness and creativity." -April M. Alford, HR Consultant
"Crystal shows initiative and is always willing to take on additional responsibilities, if needed. She very appropriately handled highly confidential information while working as Administrative Assistant to the Director. Crystal is meticulous with her written work and is a published author... She demonstrates excellent computer skills, as evidenced by forms and spread sheets she created, at my request, for risk and quality projects. Organization is another skill in which Crystal stands out. She was able to balance time keeping, secretarial, and many other duties in her previous position and appears to be excelling in her current position with the Community Integration Department." -Tammy Mabe, former Risk Manager at SWVTC
"Crystal has been a real catalyst for our senior leadership team, preparing for meetings, following through on action plans, and assuring continuity from plan development through implementation. Creativity was demonstrated in revising our vision/mission pictorial, and she served on the DREAM team to facilitate annual strategic planning sessions. She also helped other groups stay on task, including the policy and procedures committee, LHRC, and Director Advisory Meetings; and assumed responsibility as secretary of the Infection Control Committee when the previous person resigned and was not replaced, as well as helping to establish the new Records Retention and Destruction Committee for reducing paperwork." -Dennis Shrewsberry, Director SWVTC
