"Lacey is a gifted communicator and professional. She excels at completing thoughtful, creative work and delivering it in a timely manner. Whether it's writing, developing social media content, research, or strategizing, Lacey is able to bring a variety of relevant skill sets to bear on work tasks. She also demonstrates good people skills and is able to connect well with coworkers and customers. Lacey is an asset to any team."
-Seth Pierce, Communication Program Director, Union College
"During her summer internship with our department, Lacey became a valuable member of our communication team. She cheerfully stepped up to help with the workload and was always pleasant, on task and on time. Lacey is a skilled writer and editor and also has talent in the areas of design, video and social media. I would highly recommend Lacey to employers looking for a creative, conscientious communicator."
-Brenda Dickerson, Communication Director and Outlook Editor
"It was a blessing to have Lacey spend some time with us over the summer as an intern in the Mid-America Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Communication department. She got right to work helping us proofread articles for our magazine OUTLOOK, assisting with social media planning and posting, and creating a few articles for our website OUTLOOKmag.org. Lacey was always willing to take on new tasks, such as a market research project, a data entry project cataloging the social media presence of churches within our territory, and starting a photo archive database. She learned how to work with a teleprompter and was willing to go on camera as one of our magazine reporters. Lacey also works well virtually. While we attended a conference in another part of the country, Lacey collaborated with us virtually to provide social media coverage of the event from our home office. Lacey would be a great addition to any communication team. Her strengths are writing and editing, but she has competencies that go beyond those skill sets."
-Hugh Davis, Associate Director of Communication for the Mid-America Union Conference and Digital Media Manager for OUTLOOK Magazine
"Over the past 6 months Lacey has worked on various tasks for the Lincoln SDA Credit Union on an as needed basis. She has shown herself to be great with time management through making herself available on short notice. Some of the tasks are repetitive and unrewarding but Lacey is diligent, displaying a consistent drive until the completion of the job. When assigned with the new task of writing notice templates, Lacey rose to the challenge by researching and utilizing mentors to ensure the outcome would meet professional criteria as well as abide by policy. The Credit Union has benefited from Lacey’s strive for excellence in both her work and work relationships."
-Rebekah Shetler, Assistant Manager of the Lincoln Seventh-day Adventist Credit Union
