Matthew O. Latham "I highly recommend Amanda's services. When we worked together, she exceeded my
Landscape Architect expectations, revamping the company's marketing materials while also handling
DNK Architects, Inc. administrative duties, all with grace and poise. She exhibited professionalism in all her
www.dnkarchitects.com work, and often stayed beyond normal work hours in order to complete proposals on
time. She was always eager to suggest new ideas and ways of doing things to make
things more efficient. Most importantly, though, in my opinion, she had a bright and
engaging personality that improved the office environment. If you are looking for a
person with honesty, ethics, creativity, and perseverance, you have come to the right
place!"

Michael Allen “I felt quite honored when Amanda Collins asked me to write a professional letter of
Principal reference. As a corporate client, I’ve had the pleasure of working daily with Amanda for
Allen Associates about four years. In her current role, she has administrative accountability for a large,
www.allensearch.com high energy, multi-client environment. Her organized, methodic, caring approach has not
gone unnoticed by our group. In addition, I find her intelligent, detail oriented and
naturally curious. Amanda is a problem solver. Much thought goes into the things
Amanda does, and she has the unusual ability to notice what others may overlook.
Beyond her professional skills and work ethic, she’s a person with high integrity and a
strong sense of loyalty. I would enthusiastically recommend Amanda for any position
where patience, courtesy and a winning manor are important.

Amber Gentry "Amanda was a huge help on a recent project. Not only was she instrumental in creating
Senior Interior Designer the format for the data we collected, but she assisted in a large amount of input over
DNK Architects, Inc. very few days. Without Amanda's assistance, our deadline never would have been met.
www.dnkarchitects.com She's also funny, spirited, and a great person to be around. I'm so glad she came to DNK!"

“Amanda Collins has been on the administrative staff here at HQ Global Workplaces for
almost four years. We have always been very pleased with the friendly and professional
manor in which she performs the tasks we have requested of her. Though we would be
disappointed to see her leave HQ, we highly recommend her to prospective future
employers and wish her the very best.”

Raffi Tomassian "Amanda is a quiet overachiever of the best possible kind. Hired as an administrative
Designer assistant at our mid-size architectural services firm, she quickly took on highly specialized
DNK Architects, Inc. tasks in graphic, web design and marketing and performed superbly at each one. She is
www.dnkarchitects.com efficient and reliable, not to mention a pleasure to work with and have around. Amanda
championed the use of new technologies and contributed greatly to the office's adoption
and smooth running of teleconferencing; she helped optimize the work of several staff
members who had been stuck in the last century. Her graphic and media design skills
allowed our design and marketing staff to transfer related duties to her and free up
valuable time to focus on deadline driven architecturally related work. She does
everything in an understated, team oriented fashion, a refreshing change from an office
culture that generally rewards boisterousness. Amanda is hardworking, meticulous, self-
starting, responsible individual who will be an asset for any organization, as a full time
employee, or for contract work."
