        I have known Amanda Arbuckle for several years.  Not only have we met individually numerous times to discuss her career plans, but she also took a career development course that I teach at the University of Minnesota. Through my interactions with Amanda I can attest to the fact that she is a responsible person who will be a reliable staff member in any organization.  She always showed up to class on time and always submitted her work on or before the deadlines.  Additionally, the work that she submitted was excellent.  She followed directions clearly, showed attention to detail in her assignments and exhibited excellent communication skills in both writing assignments and class discussions.  I am confident she will apply these same skills to her work in future organizations.

I also think it is important to note that Amanda has a strong passion for interior design. This passion is illustrated by the large amount of experience she has accumulated during her time at the University of Minnesota. She has gone above and beyond others in her degree program by gaining many experiences and not letting the tough economy stop her from developing skills outside of the classroom. Additionally, she has conducted many informational interviews with professionals and really takes to heart the advice she receives.

Last, I always appreciate how Amanda is willing to help out here within the College of Design.  If I run across a freshmen student who needs more insight to the Interior Design major, I know that Amanda is always willing to share her experience to help others.  I appreciate her generous nature in this regard and it has been a huge help to me in my work as well.

Amanda will be a great asset to any organization! Terri Fiez
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Amanda is an amazing interior designer.  She interacts well with customers, has many creative ideas, and is extremely organized and efficient.  Her sketching, drafting and computer skills are extraordinary.  She would be an excellent addition to any design firm.
