34. What other people are saying…

35. “ Kala is bright, intelligent, quick to learn, organized, self-starter and a pleasure to work with. For a year and half she worked in my group as administration support to the marketing group while finishing her degree at PSU. She took on every task with a smile and always offered help to the team when we would be scrambling with deadlines. I would recommend Kala for a position in marketing, public relations and/or advertising without hesitation. Give her a task to learn or manage and she takes off and finishes it (probably before you can turn around!). She was a joy to have in the group and I'm sure she would be a valuable asset to the next organization that grabs her. Nancy Jankowski, E&AT Marketing Manager, CH2M HILL “

36. “ “ Kala has been an essential asset to the success of my practice and I would recommend her as an expert with integrity to anyone. Shane Boucher, Chiropractor, Bayside Chiropractic

37. “ Kala showed promise in my Creative Strategy class early on. Unlike many, Kala "got it." She thinks through problems much deeper than most, and understands issues on both abstract and concrete levels. Kala is as much creative as she is strategic - what a combination to possess! When given a task, no matter how difficult, Kala tackles the challenge with passion and diligence. She does not settle, and pushes herself to arrive at the best possible solution to a problem. Kala holds a great deal of promise, and will no doubt offer tremendous value to any employer. Timothy Christy, Visiting Assistant Professor of Marketing and Advertising Management, Portland State University “

38. “ “ We were working late getting ready for a presentation to an important Japanese client. We were understaffed and Kala stepped up to help create some graphics that were critical for the meeting. Without her help, we would have been unable to meet the deadline. Mark Spangler, BD Coordinator, CH2M HILL

39. “ I was impressed with her aptitude for course content, level of critical thinking, and the ease she engaged collaborative conversations. During the course Kala pushed boundaries of conventional thinking and would challenge current methodologies in the marketplace. She usually was not satisfied for what was offered on the surface, and continued to peel away at the preverbal onion. Cole Chatterton, Adjunct Instructor, Portland State University “
