“Ms. Morrow was an indispensable part of the Joint Federated Assurance Center (JFAC) Cyber Support Task during a performance-critical period when short-handed, we faced critical deadlines for several deliverables. Despite juggling simultaneous tasks, Meg was able to interpret what the customer wanted in terms of the final deliverables, delegate work based on subject matter expertise, provide valuable input that guided the direction of the documents, and polish the final products into usable documentation for future use by software development programs. Over the course of the project, she demonstrated her analytical and research abilities, intellectual independence, interpersonal skills, maturity, and oral and written communication experience. I know Meg’s competence in these areas will ensure her many successes throughout her career.”

“Meg possesses uniquely potent workforce differentiation which can be expressed by the combination of Calvinist work ethic, technical writing competency, and speed of production. As a technical SME, I was extremely impressed by her ability to quickly amend and bolster writing products by combining techniques involving independent research, author interviews, and cross-examination. Meg is self-motivated and works hard to deliver value to her team, firm, and customers. Put simply, Meg’s good people.”

“Megan Morrow epitomizes the hardworking, innovative, and motivated employee that any team would need to succeed in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment. Her introduction to the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground’s Reports Quality Team was during a time period of very high workload and low staff numbers. Her ability to adapt to the immediate requirements and adjust her focus to accomplish the mission became a skill that I relied on as her lead. Megan accepted any challenge I sent her way, which I did regularly with the confidence that the task would not just be completed, but likely would result in a better product than was requested. When presented a new process for accepting funds, Megan stepped up to not only refine the process, create usable and effective templates, and develop training materials, but also worked with the Test Officers to ensure they understood the process. Every aspect of this task was outside what would normally be considered her area of responsibility but she saw a potential shortfall in our ability to meet this new requirement and she took it on to ensure mission success. Megan’s attitude of determination to ensure others succeed and that success is accomplished through teamwork was exemplified in every task she tackled. Her thirst for knowledge, willingness to learn, and desire to complete a job to the best of her ability made her an invaluable member of my team.”

“Megan Morrow was an integral team member of New Mexico State University’s (NMSU) Admissions Office during a time when the university expanded its marketing and student outreach within New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Her meticulous approach to assisting students through the admissions process led Megan to be selected to recruit in the largest school district in New Mexico. She used her strong interpersonal skills and diverse background to develop a strong rapport with students, parents, and counselors. Through her efforts, Megan was able to create a strong NMSU presence in New Mexico’s largest city—Albuquerque, as well as Arizona and southern California. NMSU’s Director of Admissions witnessed and valued Megan’s dedication, work ethic, ability to connect with students, and professionalism at such a high level that she was selected to be the primary recruiter in Arizona and California. Ms. Morrow was successful at NMSU due to her adapt her skillset—strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, dedication to the task at hand—to meet the priorities of the office and institution. The ability to adapt one’s skill set to a new work environment is hard to learn, but Megan showed this ability during her tenure at NMSU and this will help her succeed in any career opportunity.”
