Reference Letters
For nearly a year, William and I worked side-by-side at French West Vaughan (FWV), where I was his supervisor in my role as Social Media Manager and he served as Social Media & Influencer Coordinator.
William is the teammate you can always count on. From day one, his exceptional communication and interpersonal skills kept projects moving smoothly, as well as his resourcefulness. In a fast-paced environment, to be able to source information quickly and effectively is so appreciated. He anticipates and resolves bottlenecks with confidence and professionalism, qualities rarely seen in entry-level employees.
I was equally impressed by William’s organizational prowess. Beyond maintaining well-structured file systems, he meticulously tracked influencer communications, prioritized deadlines without prompting, and submitted timesheets promptly every week. He approaches each assignment fully prepared and ready to tackle whatever comes next.
William brings energy and creativity to every brainstorm—whether offering fresh ideas or eagerly wanting to get involved. He has quickly developed strong skills in graphic design, video editing, web content, and copywriting. In fact, mentoring William helped me grow as a leader; his curiosity, fearless communication, and work ethic are that inspiring.
Above all, project management is where William truly shines. He pairs a keen sense of organization with strong people skills and a genuine passion for purposeful work.
