Marlee Sezer is a Head of People Operations at Profile.com. Colleagues describe her as "Marlee has been an invaluable part of our team, helping our small and very busy office through our Department Administrator's maternity leave. She served as my assistant and right hand as I filled both my own and the Department Administrator's roles, often taking full ownership of major projects which would normally have been part of my job as Program Coordinator. From the start, Marlee impressed me with her maturity and capacity for working independently, particularly for someone just starting her career. She hit the ground running, showing a can-do spirit and an openness to learning that are vital in a fast-paced environment such as ours. I was often too crunched to spend the time I normally would in training an employee in a new task or in providing mentorship and guidance, but Marlee capably handled what I threw at her. From the day to day basics of answering phones and managing supplies, to more involved projects like convoluted travel and event arrangements, processing critical data needed to maintain our accreditations, and cross-checking degree candidates' transcripts against complex program requirements, Marlee kept a great attitude and did a great job. I literally cannot imagine how I - or my office team - would have coped without her, and I wish our budget would have allowed us to keep her beyond the maternity leave. I am confident that this is only the beginning of a successful career, whatever directions she may choose to pursue."
