He was able to juggle the vision, implementation and evaluation of at least five programs of the Volunteer Center. As a supervisor, Ryan was able to maintain a good rapport with the students who worked in the office and helped to build a cohesive team environment. He had the ability to hold us accountable, push us to do better and support us in our big projects.
