"Thank you for being so willing to take on projects and learn by doing! Your eagerness to help is so appreciated! You rock!"
"You pushed yourself really hard this session, and while it was totally not ideal, you handled a big, sticky situation with grace and patience and a level head. And you only cried once! You are and have always been a good noodle!"
"Thank you, Joanna, for your mentorship of our new OoDLers! And not just those you've been assigned on your team! You've helped guide all four of our new folks and made it a point to be available. I appreciate your commitment to the development of our team!"
"Joanna, you have done such an excellent job of providing our new Pineapples with guidance and mentorship as they have integrated with our team. Your leadership, kindness and generosity are an asset to this team and | am so honored that I get to witness it all! You rock!"
"Always being a supportive member of the team, bringing positivity, staying organized and on task and encouraging sustainable practices in the office. You bring so much to this team!"
"Joanna has been so incredibly generous as a mentor and co-worker. She anticipates the needs of her mentees, creates reference materials, makes herself available to walk us through processes, answers questions, and so on. Joanna has made the on-boarding process very smooth and has made me feel welcome on the team. I appreciate all that she does!"
"Thank you for your devotion to deployment Joanna! Not only for your own courses but spending time with our newer IDAs in multiple training sessions. In addition, you are mindful that nothing slips through the cracks in all of Pineapple. This session you also learned to let go and not burn yourself out in one day. Very proud of you!"
"Shoutout to Joanna for her thoroughness, her exemplary leadership, and her indispensable know-how. When I see how well our newer IDAs are doing on deployment, I know that a significant amount of their skill comes from the coaching that Joanna has done on the front end of their time at OoDL. Joanna consistently sets the standard for quality of work on this team. You go, girl!!!"
"Joanna, Thank you so much for coming to our 2023 ASU West Valley Campus Staff Council Festival of Desserts on December 7th! Thank you for volunteering to help decorate, great guests, clean up and for bringing so much joy to the event. Taylor and I appreciate you!"
