“…I have seen Sam go the extra mile in trying to develop quality content when she knows that content will be seen by a broader audience. In a multi-week group project in the same course, I saw Sam take initiative to tackle one of the more challenging parts of that project and I received feedback from one of her team members, who singled Sam out for doing “a great job with the SEO audit and summarizing it into good and digestible information.”
