"It's been my privilege to know Isabella during her time here at Liberty University. She has been a part of several classes I teach within the Interior Design Department at Liberty. Since meeting Isabella, she has continually grown and matured in her confidence and capabilities as a designer, both in apply the theories and concepts discussed in class to her projects, as well as with her capabilities in the software and media used to coney her ideas and designs. An objective of interior design is to use the design aesthetic to serve others by creating spaces that enhance and improve people's physical, emotional, and psychological interaction with the built environment. Along with a compassionate hear, it takes a student with a strong grasp of the fundamental theories, elements, and principles of design to achieve that objective. Isabella consistently exemplifies these qualities as demonstrated in the creative solutions to her design projects." Isabella is a leader. In team settings she is a caring and compassionate team member always supporting her team encouraging them to do their best. Likewise, she works diligently with her teammates to be successful. Yet, she can also be decisive when a course of action is needed and he job needs to be done. She has an incredibly studious work ethic and always strives to do her best. In the classroom Isabella excels in her academics and successfully applies what she is learning in class to her projects. Among her peers she is a valuable resource readily sharing her expertise and experience in many areas to help them grow in their professionalism. Likewise, when my business partner at my architectural firm asked for help on a personal design project, I confidently recommended Isabella for the opportunity, because of her expertise with design software. It's without hesitation that i strongly recommend Isabella to you for a position you may have within your firm."
