Mandie has been an outstanding candidate for our department in a time of extreme need. When she finishes a project or task, she asks if there’s anything else she can do to assist. We’ve given her tasks that match her goals and could not be more pleased and impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, critical thinking and understands the importance of her role in providing service excellence to our providers and staff. I wanted to be sure to discuss the importance of saving and having a bank account – she already had an account and practices good saving habits . . . All I can say is WOW, she’s going to be successful wherever she lands. Thank you JHSJP for providing us with a quality intern!!
