What people are saying.
“Wallis is the star of the team and the entire organization. Having been promoted twice within a 20-month timeframe exemplifies his excellent work ethic and proficiency. He is capable of proactively driving and executing complex projects across functions, oftentimes with limited time and resources. Furthermore, he doesn't work alone — Wallis always motivates his teammates and leverages a multitude of knowledge areas to achieve ultimate goals.”
— James Ho, MBA. Head of E-commerce at 99 Ranch Market, current direct supervisor.
“Wallis and I were in a semester-long graduate school project together, and I can confidently say Wallis is one of the best group members I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only was he always on time and on task, he actively sought out new opportunities to make our project go above and beyond. He also became a strong motivator in our group, bringing positivity and wisdom when we needed it most. I happily took time out of my day to write this because I sincerely believe Wallis would be an amazing addition to any team he joins.”
—Taylor May, USC graduate student, a teammate that worked on the same project together before.
In this past year, I’ve learned a few things about Wallis: He is astute, adaptable, a quick learner, and a self-starter. Any team considering adding him would gain an invaluable member.
Specifically, I’ve had the pleasure of having two classes with him. In one where we were both parts of the same final group project, I was impressed by not only how he led our group, but also his high standard for quality in our research and presentation. He has a vast knowledge of the digital landscape and encouraged our team to delve deeper into our chosen topic.
In another class, Wallis also contributed insightful and thoughtful analysis to our class weekly discussions on social media influencers and how marketing teams could utilize them. Coming to class every day, he brought his A-game and showed off his technical expertise in digital marketing.
Any team that has high standards of quality needs innovation, and thrives on collaboration should include Wallis to help them go to the next level.
— Olivia Mowry, USC graduate student, Digital Media Producer at USC Annenberg, a teammate that worked on the same project together before.
“Wallis is a wonderful team member and a joy to work with. His passion, attention to detail, and hard work are reflected in his projects and assignments. He met all his responsibilities with a positive, ready to work and learn attitude and was an integral part of our team for REimagine!.
He faced unplanned changes in priorities, took on additional responsibilities including running our Social Media pages and building items in the backend of the event platform, and consistently delivered results on time. It’s evident he wants to learn and grow from his internship as he asked for input, shared ideas, and asked meaningful questions. His professionalism, expertise, skills, and creativity will serve him well in his future career.”
— Lauren Palfrey, Marketing Services and Events Manager, a former supervisor at California Association of REALTORS®.
“Wallis is a meticulously hard worker. He takes on tasks with pride and responsibility, he is also not afraid to voice his opinions if it can improve with the task.”
— Mike Lin, a former employer at D Lux Studio, Inc.
“I've had the pleasure of working with Wallis on a group project for the Digital Social Media master's program at USC Annenberg. I appreciated the great initiative he took in making sure that our group was on track the entire time, as well as his creativity and knowledge of digital media. He is very skilled in social media strategy and is always sharpening his skills.”
