Jordanna would be an asset to any team!" and "Jordanna Tennebaum was the Teaching Assistant for a third year television journalism class I taught in the fall term of 2014. I found her to be a consummate professional. She is an intelligent and motivated person. Jordanna was respectful both to me and to the students. She never presented a problem without suggesting a solution. Jordanna always took the initiative to help the small teams of students working on their assignments. She was as eager to learn from me, as she was to impart her knowledge and insights to our students. I felt confident enough in her critical thinking abilities to leave the marking of student papers in her capable hands. I rarely needed to edit her comments or reevaluate the grades. The papers often dealt with how newscasts had handled political stories. Jordanna showed a clear understanding of parliamentary process and current political affairs. In addition to Jordanna’s role as a Teaching Assistant, I also felt confident enough in her abilities to use her for a video production I did outside of the University. I hired her as an Associate Producer of two videos I did for a large NGO. Jordanna conducted all interviews in French, translated and transcribed the material and advised me on what should be used.
