I am so glad the Corporate Relations & Exhibition Services team was able to work with Beau this fall! He is thoughtful in his approach to work and communicating with everyone on the team. We had Beau working on a variety of projects, including some new initiatives, and he asked great questions and was proactive in suggesting ways that we could improve our process and communications.
While onsite at RSNA 2022, Beau proved to be a true professional. I had him bouncing between a number of different responsibilities across McCormick Place, and he was completely reliable and executed his responsibilities beautifully.
Beau is a true pleasure to work with. He has a positive attitude, is sharp and so thoughtful. I know he will do great things wherever he goes!

It's with great pride that I write this recommendation for Beau.
Starting with his first interview, he was filled with intelligent questions, which only continued when he accepted the role and joined the team. From each week and every project, I was fascinated to watch him not only dive into the experience he was going through, but also sharpening quickly, and appreciate the journey. He quickly rose to every task he was handed, and in turn turning them into moments for him to go above and beyond.
But I think what I most appreciated, beyond just the natural ability of getting the work done and learning, but the desire to turn the work into education and fuel for his career ambitions. The internship was not just for development, but for him was an opportunity to make lasting contributions to International Public Affairs, which meant he took the experience seriously, which made working with him a energizing experience, as I realized he was interested in getting as much as he could out of the time he was at AbbVie.
Over the 3 months, he went from executing small projects, to leading sessions with multiple countries, self-correcting his work, and flexing skills in presenting and strategy building, and did all of it without hesitation. In fact, he used all of this as a driver to seek more feedback and further develop. I think this desire -- the ability to learn from the moments -- is one that makes Beau a standout and such a great addition to a team, especially as he only now begins to embrace his goals in the short-term and in the next years as he determines his path.
Overall, having Beau as an intern and direct report was a great experience. He's got a desire to grow, and learn, and do so quickly -- with an appreciate for further development. These all traits not only of a strong employee, but also a rising star. I would, without hesitation, have him on my team again and cannot wait to see what his career path looks like.

From the moment I met Beau during his interview, I could tell he is an ambitious, self-driven person with a sharp mind and a relentless curiosity that will serve any communications professional and the teams he will become a part of well.
Beau joined our team as a summer intern and rapidly consumed knowledge, all the while showing genuine interest in learning about how he could best contribute and develop in his career. I watched Beau present on his projects to large groups on several occasions with confidence and authority, and I enjoyed watching his rapid evolution into a polished presenter. He was proactive, attentive to detail and showed great skill in critical thinking, even pivoting his summer project after gathering insights as to how his output could be even more useful if formulated differently. He asked smart, thoughtful questions, and used the information he received wisely. Aside from his skills and work habits, Beau was a pleasure to work with and brought a positive, infectious and inquisitive energy to our team. He is adaptable and personable, and I have no doubt he will go far in his career.
