Hands down, Mylene is by far the best person I have ever worked for and with. Through her rigorous and passionate leadership style, Mylene is respected by all who work with her. Organized, creative, detail-oriented yet still 'big picture', innovative, and inclusive, Mylene never failed in exceeding my expectations of what a leader and colleague should be. By doing so, Mylene empowers those she works with as she sets an unprecedented example of taking initiative, working well in collaborative settings, and being proactive in any way she can. I have seen Mylene handle a plethora of situations within our two years of working together, depicting her fearless character and unparalleled work ethic. If it wasn't for Mylene's guidance, support, criticisms, and 'tough-love' - I would not be who I am today. Mylene has taught me a great deal and although we no longer work together, she continues to teach me so much, and for that I will always be thankful. It is very hard to come across someone who can uplift, empower, lead, and still focus on the content/work itself to ensure successful initiatives are in place, thus working with Mylene was truly a blessing. She is not only a role model and an amazing colleague, but she has become a dear friend. I am immensely grateful for my experience working with her."

"Working with Mylene was the best experience I could have had as a senior getting ready to enter into the workforce. Her attitude and persona are definitely something I emulate now as an employee for the City of Norfolk. Her model of developing students enables one to think critically and put their best foot forward. As my advisor, Mylene pushed me indirectly to reach new heights that I did not think I could reach. I was in a position for two years, but with Mylene’s mentoring skills I was able to implement new ideas and initiatives in my position. Mylene is very efficient, and I really admire her attention to detail. This skill allows her to foresee and eliminate errors in assignments and projects so that it can reach its full potential. When working with Mylene on certain projects, she made it a point to look at the big picture, but also the items that most people would see as minuscule. Because of her eye for precision, many of the projects we completed were successful without any issues. Mylene not only has great work ethics, but she is a joy to be around. Her smile and fun personality lights up the room! I am glad that I was able to work with Mylene, and I know that she will do great things for any company that she is hired with. She will not only excel in her job, but also bring others to the highest level of efficiency."

PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK
PROJECT MANAGEMENT & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
I consider workshops and large-scale program development an essential medium to share vital information with those seeking assistance. Project management is the skillful integration of product knowledge, consumer insight, talent assignment, planning, logistical sophistication, foresight, timelines, budget management and a unique ability to adjust to the unexpected. My career in higher education has allowed me to develop and refine the skills needed to create effective programming and manage the project from conception through execution and evaluation. This page highlights the diversity and scope of my experiences in higher education project management and program development.
