"As a photojournalist and employee at The Flint Journal, Shannon Millard was nothing short of exceptional. She consistently met deadlines and never missed a beat. She is persistent, driven and self-motivated -- all things that elevate her above the pack. She is constantly growing and learning from those around her as well, and has a positive impact on her coworkers. She brings the best out of people. I definitely recommend her for hire." - Jake May

"Shannon was our photo intern at The Fayetteville Observer. She was not only a good photographer but a solid journalist. Every assignment we sent her out on, she would always return with solid images. She was easy to get along with and had a good personality. Any employer would be lucky to hire her." - Andrew Craft
