“I had the joy of teaching Eileen at Boston University in my Artificial Intelligence, Innovative Marketing Techniques, and E-commerce classes. She stood out in every possible way. She’s smart and learns fast, but what impressed me was her ability to think critically and strategically, always looking at the bigger picture, whether we were discussing branding, UX, or business impact.

She consistently went above and beyond: attending optional sessions, pushing her work further, and setting a high bar for herself and her fellow students. She wasn’t just a leader in her own teams; she regularly helped other students improve their work and volunteered her time for community outreach projects. She even collaborated with some of my colleagues outside of class, using her design and branding skills to help elevate their businesses.

Eileen is one of the best students I’ve ever had, and she’s also an exceptional presenter. I still remember a project where she developed a fitness and lifestyle brand. Not only did she design the brand and logo, but she also built a nice website, created merchandise, and came up with creative campaign ideas. Her final presentation felt like something you'd see in a professional pitch meeting.

Eileen brings together creativity, intelligence, generosity, and real strategic thinking. She consistently improves every project and team. I feel lucky to have had her in class, and I can’t wait to see where she goes next.”
