Letter of Recommendation
Written by Dr. Hyojung Park, LSU
"My assessment of [Eli] is based on this close and personally rewarding experience as her adviser and mentor. Overall, Elizabeth is a dedicated young professional, a critical problem-solver, and an effective communicator.
​
In addition to her academic and professional capabilities, I would also like to note that Elizabeth has a warm, engaging personality and great interpersonal skills. She is quite capable of operating as a productive team member in addition to working independently. She is always willing to help others and take responsibilities that other students may shy away from. Anyone who knows her would say that she is a very amiable person and a pleasure to have around. I am confident that she can be a positive member of any team and adapt to different roles as needed.
​
Without any reservation, I proudly offer my highest recommendation for Elizabeth."

"Ms. Melillo is one of the best and smartest graduate students I have ever met at LSU.
​
[Eli] has proven herself to be an extremely hard working and motivated student and assistant.
​
She is very organized and is always on top of her work. In fact, she often goes above and beyond and complete tasks way beyond my expectation."
This is a note to express appreciation and let you know that Eli has gone above and beyond expectations in creating great graphics – really quickly. Eli provided two really good options for brochures and she recognized that a new QR code was needed to link to the LDH jobs page on the SCS website and created that. Eli also created a banner with the QR code for HR to use on other promotional materials and coordinated with IT to get them posted.
Eli has been wonderful to work on this project! I am most appreciative of the work she has done.
