"Allie is extremely knowledgeable and hard working. Not only is she always willing and able to help her coworkers, but she is so approachable and personable that it takes away the intimidation factor that is so often found in our industry. Her patience and determination has not only put her at the top of her game, but influences those around her. Allie’s two assistants were quickly promoted to higher positions, and have even attributed their success to her unwavering support and knowledge. Allie has all of the qualities that potentials employers would want, as well as so many more! "

"Allie has a fantastic “can-do” attitude. It is that attitude that lead her to being a consistent top performer within our sales team. Allie also has a desire for continual learning which lead to marked improvement from the day she started with us until the day she left. Allie increased her closing percentage over 20% during her stay with our organization, and at the time of her departure, she held the highest closing percentage on the team. I attribute this to the combination of her attitude and her effort and drive. We miss Allie and would welcome her back with open arms at any point. "

"Allie established great rapport with her clients and always had a no-stress, can-do attitude. She was a dependable and reliable employee, and was open to implementing new strategy during client consultations and team planning meetings. This was a significant factor in the amount of growth she showed during her time at Bellagala. Allie is professional, friendly and passionate about the work she does. I would love the opportunity to have her on my team again in the future."

"Upon first interaction with Allie I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, polished demeanor and enthusiasm. During her time at Bellagala she was reliable, passionate and dedicated to learning more about the wedding industry. Her prior experience in the hospitality field was apparent - She was consistently attentive to the needs of clients and addressed each interaction and task in a thoughtful and timely manner. Allie is a top performer and has my highest recommendation!"

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Allie as a fellow student and friend. Throughout our time together at Metropolitan State University, Allie has been exceptional. Whether it was stepping up as a leader, keeping groups organized and on task, creating and cultivating content, using her extensive social media skills, or flawlessly presenting work, Allie always gives her best. As a result, she is not only impressive, but she makes those around her better as well. Between being a full-time college student and working, Allie still finds the time to help her friends and family with their own projects. It is safe to say I have never had the privilege of knowing someone that works as hard or is as selfless as Allison Ryan. Whatever Allie chooses to do next, she will excel at, because that is what she does in all things. If you’re looking for passion, intelligence, creativity, and integrity, you’ll find no one better than Allie."

"I think of Allison as “an old soul.” She is wise beyond her years, and she connects well with persons of various age groups and cultural backgrounds. I feel a strong rapport with her that I rarely experience with others who are so much younger than me.
Allison is a quick study, and seems to be able to use both sides of her brain with equal facility. She is able to work well independently yet her outstanding strength is working interdependently. She gets my highest recommendation, with no reservations. I hope this letter helps her obtain professional opportunities, because I can think of no one else who better deserves to do what she loves. I welcome any opportunity to speak or write more on her behalf."*
