Employee of the Quarter- First Quarter 2020

Shantelle Patterson

 

TAMUG Staff Council announces the 1st Employee of the Quarter for fiscal year 2020.  Shantelle Patterson-Swanson, Communications Manager in the Department of Marketing and Communications, has won the Employee of the Quarter award.

“Shantelle has consistently demonstrated our core values through her excellent work especially during the time MARCOM was in transition. Her integrity, selfless service, loyalty and leadership shined brightly once she was removed from a toxic environment and placed under a new supervisor. She was charged with keeping MARCOM afloat for academics while a new director was being searched for; which was no easy task and above and beyond her job duties. Her workload was overloaded to the point that she was constantly working late, way past 5pm to meet material deadlines as well as to accommodate last minute requests from both the COO and CAO. She did it all with a smile on her face consistently performing at a high professional level without the title, compensation or job description. She just knew it needed to get done and did what it took to achieve that since there wasn't anyone else that could accomplish it. She is most deserving of the Employee of the Quarter recognition.”

“Shantelle always give 110% in every situation, but she recently has outdone herself in terms of productivity, creative and just overall support for the MarCom team. She has designed and overseen a multitude of high-quality deliverables in short turnaround time and still continues to support various events, small asks and even ensure the MarCom suite renovation is happening according to plan and execution. She is an overachiever in the very best way and consistently goes out of her way and bends over backwards to make things work for whomever she can. I’m always impressed by her drive and standard of excellence, but even more so of late. I’m thrilled to be her teammate. I also strive to be her when I grow up. “

Congratulations Shantelle!
