Hello,
My name is Alex Pham, and I have the pleasure of being Ruth’s editor as a part of the website staff on The Muse newsmagazine. Although, as of writing this, it is Ruth’s first year on The Muse and first time being involved with the website, she has shown an immense amount of growth during her time on my staff. The responsibilities of the website staff are demanding, requiring us to maintain a major source for information about Dreyfoos and all things Muse. Despite this, Ruth has shown incredible commitment to her tasks as a Web Staffer – even going as far as getting onto a Zoom call with bad hotel WiFi just to upload a story onto the website. She has also shown a strong understanding of design, and drew up a wonderful mockup of a website design whilst also offering amazing suggestions that we can do to improve upon the website.
She is wonderful to work with as a staffer, always staying in communication with me and the rest of the staff whenever we are working on our tasks outside of our journalism class, and she always communicates to me where she is with a task or any difficulties she might have in completing one. I value communication strongly when working with others, and I can’t think of any other person who is better at upholding this than her.
Ruth is always striving to improve and learn about maintaining a news website, never being afraid to ask me questions or offer suggestions to improve upon our work. She is also a quick learner, and she does her tasks diligently to make sure no errors occur during the process of uploading a story or information.
Ruth is a wonderful person to work with on a team, and she has shown time and again her good communication skills and wonderful commitment to her tasks. I am thankful to have her on my staff, and I look forward to continuing to work with her for the rest of my time on The Muse.
