Colleagues describe them as "I had the privilege of working alongside Avery during a critical business integration and later managing her for a brief period. Throughout this challenging time, Avery’s skills and dedication as a Program Manager were nothing short of exceptional.
Avery was the sole continuity during the complex relocation of our business across the country, and her contributions were integral to the project's success. She demonstrated remarkable leadership, expertly coordinating cross-functional teams, maintaining alignment, and ensuring smooth operations despite the inherent challenges of such a large-scale move.
As a Program Manager, Avery excelled in balancing strategic priorities with day-to-day execution. Her ability to foresee potential roadblocks and proactively address them kept the project on track and ensured its ultimate success. Even during the transition to my management, Avery remained a consistent and invaluable asset to the team, displaying a level of professionalism and adaptability that made my role as her manager effortless.
Avery’s combination of strategic thinking, attention to detail, and ability to foster collaboration makes her an exceptional Program Manager. Any organization would be fortunate to have someone of her caliber leading their programs. I highly recommend her for any opportunity requiring leadership, resilience, and program management expertise." and "I first met Avery when she joined the Lora DiCarlo team as an intern, but I also had the delightful opportunity to work with her as an instructor at Oregon State University. One of the greatest joys of my career has been watching her grow as an engineer and a scholar.
Avery is an incredibly diligent worker, proactive learner, and creative and talented engineer. She has the ability to excel while working in a multidisciplinary team and independently. I have seen her singlehandedly bring products from concept to manufacturer ready. In addition to working on products with her at Lora DiCarlo, I got to work with her on a research project focused on gender inequity in ergonomic design data. She was able to carry out a massive literature review with minimal supervision and input and produce a peer-reviewed paper that was published at Design of Medical Devices in 2020. Regardless of where Avery goes or what projects she chooses to work on in the future, I know that she will exceed expectations."
