“Joe is a remarkable person. He is a doer. He's a careful thinker who is not afraid to ask questions. He embraces challenges with a smile on his face and his positive energy is contagious. During his internship at PTTOW!, Joe was challenged to complete an array of projects, many of which he had no prior experience whatsoever. His zest for learning and excitement to take on the unknown made him a true asset. Joe has a knack for writing engaging content, he knows his way around the internet to conduct research efficiently, he's tech savvy, he works well under pressure and his professional yet approachable demeanor is admirable. Even after his internship officially ended, Joe stayed in touch to continue to assist the team on projects. Joe will always be a part of the PTTOW! family and I know our team is excited to see where his many talents will lead him in his future endeavors.”
“Joe was a summer intern under the USC program. He was professional and diligent, a self-starter, and followed through on all his assignments in a timely and competent manner. He also was well liked by all the staff, and was a great addition to the team for the short time he was in Jakarta. He deserves a full recommendation.”
“Skilled, swift and adaptable with a smile, Joe is the kind of team member that will undoubtedly get the job done with excellent execution. He learns from and contributes to a team with equal prowess, and having him as a partner means one will deliver under pressure and come out stronger because of it. It is truly a joy to work with this creative, clever and multidisciplinary mind!”
“As a professor of management communication at USC for nearly two decades, I have worked with more than 3,000 students. Of these extremely bright and talented young people, Joe’s work stands out because of his unique combination of writing, design, and photography skills. It is difficult to do any one of those things well; Joe consistently combines all three areas well to create exceptionally compelling work. Additionally, he is unusually reflective about technology and media themselves, and that reflectiveness enables him to create work that continually pushes beyond the boundaries of traditional forms of communicating. His work consistently comes across as fresh, original, engaging, and frequently inspiring. He is one of the reasons that teaching at USC is a fantastic job!”
“As an intern at PTTOW! Joe went above and beyond his marketing responsibilities and single-handedly recruited nearly 30% of the Ambassador team hired to supervise VIPs at WORLDZ. He helped make the event run smoothly, as each Ambassador he chose was highly qualified for the position. Joe stands out from the pack for his deep dedication to his craft, working strategically and intelligently to swiftly complete the tasks at hand.
Joe produces superior results with a welcoming smile and a healthy sense of humor. He is incredibly professional–wildly resourceful, highly competent, and more than anything an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not recommend him more.”
“Within the first few weeks of working with Joe, I recognized his scholarly and creative talents, thoughtful and considerate disposition, and commitment to excellence. Over the years, my impressions of Joe in these regards have not diminished in the least. Joe’s intelligence, inquisitiveness and congenial spirit elevated the scholarly and creative community in my courses. Joe was a supportive, generous and dependable collaborator when working on group projects. He was mature and professional in his interactions with faculty and students alike.
It was because of Joe’s professionalism, creative talents and collaborative nature that I immediately thought to invite him to work on Media Meets Message, a high profile initiative I co-created in the Division of Media Arts + Practice. He was an important member of the team and was embraced immediately by the international cohort of participants, a testament to his work ethic, intelligence and social acumen.
Rather than following constrictive paradigms that may lead to success, Joe takes risks through alternative methods of learning and self discovery. He courageously and critically investigates his identity while considering the ways in which power, privilege and difference construct the world. The lessons that he has learned and the awareness that he has gained are vital to his future development and success.

“Joe (Robert) was an exceptional intern for us at Milyoni. He was a fast learner and was able to produce quality deliverables in the first few weeks on the job. He was instrumental in launching a number of key social video events, using Twitter, Facebook and other social media channels for the likes of Ariana Grande, Ricky Dillion and Lohanthony. He has strong writing and design abilities. I give Joe my highest recommendation.”
