Heard on the Street...
"Marissa's commitment to getting things done is unsurpassed. I knew I can always count on her to complete projects with accuracy and above expectations. As a true leader in class, she also excels at including others on a team. She is dependable, responsible, and very well respected by other students... Marissa's strength is in management and organization... I can honestly say Marissa is one of the best students I have ever had. She is an honest, caring individual, and I feel she will be very successful in any endeavor."
- Kim Radford, Mentor and Former Teacher
"Marissa stands out in my mind as a person of remarkable character and potential and I, personally, believe in her. She has a gift for situational awareness, a positive team mentality, and drive for excellence beyond a common candidate. Marissa is exactly the person you would want leading or being part of your team. She is someone who naturally exhibits excellence in identifying the needs of a business. Marissa is one of the best I’ve seen and I will continue to invest in her. I urge you to do the same."
- Lora Brown, Hello Bagel Owner, Former Boss
"During her time at Hello Bagel, Marissa showed maturity and leadership beyond her years. As a shift leader, she was often in charge of multiple employees, some older than she was, and she did so with pleasure, poise, and confidence. I always appreciate an employee who embraces a challenge and engages their problem solving skills, and Marissa exhibited both of these qualities. A small business environment requires employees, especially those in leadership positions, to work harder, and Marissa always left the shop in better shape than when she arrived. Her driven spirit and positive attitude were always valued and she truly left an impact at Hello Bagel."
- Sarah Larson, Hello Bagel Former Manager
