WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT DENA'S WORK
- "Having had the pleasure to work with with Dena through ABC News' coverage of the 2008 Presidential Election and
extensively for ABC News Now, I can say that Dena has the uncommon blend of intuitive and comprehensive producing skills
and being one of the most genuinely kind people I have met. She has displayed a courageous yet calm demeanor countless
times while under the pressures of producing live television that will surely translate into success no matter which organization
she decides to lend her talents.
Dena is one of the few people I can safely say I would look forward to working with
under any circumstances."
- Michael Dube, Broadcast System Specialist, ABC News
- "I have had the opportunity to work with Dena for several years at ABC News. Her continual good spirits
(even during tight deadlines) are as much of an asset as her willingness to complete projects quickly and correctly.
It has been my experience that she addresses every detail of her responsibility with attention -
and because of that attitude I've seen her inspire confidence in others. In our particular working relationship
she has a clear understanding of both of our rolls and makes my job easier because of her comprehension of the
project as a whole. She's fun to work with while getting the job done right -
which is always an asset in the news industry."
- Andrew Lynch, Designer, ABC News Digital Media Group

"Dena, it was a pleasure to meet you and work with you. Your professional conduct was most impressive --
thorough, detail-oriented, polite, timely and you were always pleasant and considerate.
We and our chef clients were entirely pleased with the production segments that you oversaw/produced.
My partner, Andria Chin and I look forward to working with you in the near future.
- Laura Lehrman, Owner, Lehrman + Chin Public Relations
was with another company when
working with Dena at ABC News Digital Media Group
- "I recommend Dena without hesitation. While she was in college, she interned with our New Media group at C-SPAN,
where I headed up the editorial and production group. As a fully integrated member of our professional team,
Dena was extremely conscientious in her work, always completing it well, accurately, and always ahead of assigned deadlines.
Dena was extremely eager to learn all aspects of the work at C-SPAN and was comfortable asking questions and applying
what she learned. She worked with many others on the staff too, whom I know uniformly had the same experience while
working with her. It was a pleasure to work with someone whose skills and work ethic truly went beyond what you'd
expect of someone her age. I can only imagine how successful she has been in the years since I've had the opportunity to work with her."
- Brad McGuire, Content Manager, New Media, C-SPAN who managed Dena at C-SPAN
- " It is a wonderful pleasure to write this letter of recommendation in support of Ms. Dena Gudaitis. It is no exaggeration when I state
that Ms. Gudaitis is one of our best and hardworking students. Indeed, from the time I embarked upon my teaching career at
Howard University in the fall of 1987 up to the first time I embarked upon my present semester in American University's
School of International Service, a relatively small number of students has thoroughly impressed me.
One of these students,
I'm proud to say, is Ms. Gudaitis. I have been appreciative of Ms. Gudaitis' untiring interest and service to the cause of humanity.
While all about her swirls the daily pressure of academic life, she has kept to a straight course. Ms. Gudaitis' extensive volunteer
work is testimony to her dedication. Academically, Ms. Gudaitis has been an excellent student who demonstrated the potential to
excel in any field she desires to pursue."
- Abdul Karim Bangura, Professor of International Relations, American University
- " It is a pleasure to submit this recommendation for Dena Gudaitis. I know her well, however, because she was an employee in my
office on the College Work-Study Program for two years. Dena is a conscientious worker, with outstanding interpersonal skills.
She can be relied on to complete themost complex tasks without a great deal of direction. One of her greatest strengths is the
ability to handle a variety of tasks without losing track of any of them. Dena's cheerful disposition, and calm demeanor make her a
pleasure to have around. I support her most enthusiastically."
- Merry Mendelson, Associate Dean - School of Communications, American University
