“Erica possesses some of the best professional talent I have ever witnessed or supervised. Her leadership and critical thinking skills are exceptional. As her supervisor at Penn State Lehigh Valley, I witnessed her growth and accomplishments as she led her peers in academics and career development. Erica served as the team lead during her undergraduate research project, held the first Career Ambassador role on our campus, and supported successful career development events while successfully balancing her volunteer and part-time roles at Lehigh Valley Health Network. Erica has her pulse on the latest in human resources and healthcare policy. She goes above and beyond to produce excellent work and is an asset to have on your team. I cannot thank her enough. ”
