   It is rare that you get to work with a standout talent like Spencer.

   I had the pleasure of collaborating with Spencer through the Student Education and Research Fellowship Program for two years. Spencer was conscientious and organized. He often delivered new concepts and activities to include in the program to enhance the participants' experiences.

   I was impressed with Spencer's drive and leadership skills. He was logistics genius and was able to create independent experiences for 40 student participants in the program.

   Spencer is a unique young man with a wide array of skills that translate to measurable actions. Our interaction has not been with any specific project rather sharing innovative ideas, and collaborating to inspire thoughts that lead to change in health care, always with a keen eye on patient outcomes first and respectful of financial impact. Spencer is an absolute self starter and has an insatiable appetite to learn and absorb new experiences. I have very high expectations of him and am confident that he will "make a difference."
