    Media Consultant

    I've had the pleasure of working with Julian Bridges while he was at the University of Michigan. He was employed in our instructional media facility. He completed any task I requested of him in an incredibly timely manner. He would create instructional materials for our facility as well as put together promotional pieces to show what was capable in our facility. He always completed tasks on time, or early. I am happy to be a reference for him, as I know he'd be a great asset to any team. Feel free to contact me with any further questions. Ryan N. Wilcox wrote on Thu, 01 Sep 2016

      Julian B Reference

      I worked with Julian this past summer for the Residential Life Program of the Georgia Governor's Honors Program. Julian served as a Residential Assistant, supervising a hall of roughly 20 young men in the 10th and 11th grade. As the Dean of Residential Life, I was his immediate supervisor. Julian was nothing short of amazing. He took direction well, held his kids to a high standard, and make connections with the students that enriched their experience. He was also an amazingly positive person. His overall demeanor was infectious for both students and the staff. You'll find that he relates well to students, encourages them to do their best, and praises them when they do well. You'll also find that his passion for the subject - music - will inspire others. You would be remiss in not hiring him. Matt Peal wrote on Fri, 02 Sep 2016
