Since the Fall of 2022, Gabi has been a valued member of our Front Desk team. She is kind, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that students have the right information to get connected with our office and other campus resources. Gabi has also helped improve our processes and documentation as a "McMentor", paving the way for our new Disability Program Aides to succeed. A big shout out to Gabi for everything she has done in making the McBurney Center a better place!

I am so grateful for all the work that Joselyn has done this semester to keep up with a class with a very high-demand work load. The content has been challenging and extensive, but Joselyn has worked tirelessly, day in and day out, nearly every week day and many Saturdays, to create high quality accessible versions. Her excellent work ethic and unfailing dependability make her an invaluable member of the McBurney team!

Joselyn is consistently the hardest worker I've observed on staff. She is punctual, reliable and never fails to go above and beyond at work. Joselyn gladly devotes her time, energy and skills to McBurney, being one of the only student staff to supply extra work hours while also juggling a full school schedule during the week. I am beyond grateful to have Joselyn as a coworker. Her eagerness, personability and kindness easily affect me and other student staff in the best way.
