        It is without reservation that I recommend Aamon Smith.  Aamon is a talented and hard working young woman that I have had the pleasure of collaborating with.  Aamon's dedication to the end goal along with her ability to lead others has always proved to be an asset with teamwork.   Not only is Aamon an awesome leader but more importantly she recognizes that great leaders motivate others to lead.  With this in mind, she is always more than willing to also follow others.  Aamon is an asset that everyone should jump at the opportunity to have as a part of their team.   Dawn Blagrove
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        It is with great pleasure that I recommend Aamon Smith.  Aamon is a natural leader who is also a team player.  She is a problem solver who is not afraid to think outside of the box for the best solution to a problem.  She understand that sometimes what makes a great leader is the ability to follow. She has exceptional people skills, allowing her to navigate many personalities and bring the best out of the people she interacts with.  Aamon will be an asset in any environment.
