Testimonials
I appreciate Valyn’s emphasis on building strong working relationships with her team and colleagues. Valyn has proved time and time again that one of her greatest strengths is being able to think strategically. Many of us think tactically, and many people think of themselves as being strategic, but I appreciate Valyn’s ability to move conversations back to thinking about the “why.”
Marybeth Foster
Regional Director, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
Valyn is creative, hardworking, professional, and self-motivated. She demonstrated remarkable teamwork skills in that she was an active participant in group discussions, offered possible solutions, and effectively communicated her point of view while working alongside a wide range of groups within the library (i.e., faculty, staff, students, and library dean).
Angela Cox
Instruction Coordinator, Rod Library, University of Northern Iowa
Valyn’s websites and other digital animation and imaging projects demonstrated a high level of artistry, design intuition, and complexity. She is fearless when it comes to learning new skills. I am amazed at Valyn’s maturity, her calm and polite leadership, her gift with people, her follow-through, and her constant knack for going beyond all my expectations.
