“Kerri shows dedication and intellect in all of her work, ranging from video production to journalistic writing, and is a key example of a modern-day communication wizard who can wear many hats. She led the charge in revitalizing our student newspaper, The Eagle Eye, as an editor where she helped improve its quality quite significantly. I am certain that Kerri will continue this excellence in the communication field as a professional.”
– Dr. Matthew McKeague
Professor of Media & Journalism at Lock Haven University
“Kerri is a very talented and hard-working student who worked in my department as a social media specialist. She has been an exceptional social media student worker demonstrating responsibility, motivation, organization, strong interpersonal communication skills, and innovation. The innovative ways Kerri connected with her followers by making both platforms engaging and relevant is one of the many reasons there are so many followers. I enjoyed working with Kerri!”
– Dr. Jennifer Rudella
Professor of Health Science at Lock Haven University
“Kerri is both an excellent and supportive Editor-in-Chief. I joined the Eagle Eye as a staff writer with an already established background in sports writing, and she was excited to promote me to Sports Editor. I knew that this was something I could do, but I was a bit nervous as I had never used Adobe InDesign before. Kerri was able to teach me the essentials of InDesign in a clear and understandable way while giving me the encouragement to try something new.”
