“Tiara Rankins-Alvarado has been working at Mini Movers Studio as our Engagement and Communications Manager since April 2024. She has been a phenomenal asset to the team! This was a brand new position and she took tasks head on while being flexible as we navigated together what the role will encompass. With her efforts, our social media presence has expanded and we have been able to bring in new clients and locations. She is very prompt and organized while allowing creativity to flow! She is a team player and is open to feedback, she strives to bring the best light to the brand and business she is working with. It’s been a pleasure having her a part of our team and I am delighted to give her my recommendation!”

“She has a keen eye for color and design along with a warm and friendly demeanor. We are thrilled with her decorating design work and the result. I have a good sense for the qualities of those who will not only succeed but also excel.  Tiara is a go-getter, she is persistent but not pushy, she is confident but humble, she knows her stuff and will gently guide you to good design choices.”

“I am pleased to offer a letter of recommendation for Tiara Rankins-Alvarado. During her tenure at Harvard University as a Communications Assistant, Tiara demonstrated a passion for reaching our audience and an amazing eye for graphic design. She showed great care in advocating for children and wanted to always learn how we could do more through communication. 

Tiara was on the frontlines of receiving audience inquiries, and she quickly learned how to respond on behalf of the Center. In one day, she could receive 50+ inquiries that ranged from permission requests to presentation requests to general questions about the Center’s work and advice for concerning someone’s child. With multiple other tasks on her plate, Tiara was able to stay on top of these inquiries to make sure that they were answered as quickly as possible and with a lot of thought. 

In addition, Tiara played a large role in the creation of our social media content. The content she created modernized our social media platforms and increased engagement with our followers. When creating these designs, Tiara always kept the audience in mind. It was not just about what we wanted to say, it was about what we wanted the audience to do with that information. Tiara helped us reflect on our own processes and where they could be improved. Just because we were doing something a certain way for years, doesn’t mean that we should keep doing it that way! With Tiara’s help, we were able to create a library of social media posts and strategy for posting regularly. 

Any organization considering Tiara for employment has my most enthusiastic recommendation. If the determination and passion she displayed at the Center and for its mission is any indication, she is destined not only to achieve new heights in her career, but also to be a formidable change agent in the world.”

“I witnessed firsthand her  passion and commitment to building community.  

Tiara approaches her work with an intention to uplift and empower. Her writing is thoughtful and  purposeful. She has a gift for finding just the right words to move people to reflection and  positive action. 

She is highly self-motivated, dependable and meets even tight deadlines. She possesses a  willingness to learn at every stage in her work and share her own knowledge to empower the  whole team. She also understands that we are all on our own journey, so she meets people where  they are with compassion. 

Simply put, Tiara was a joy to work with. Her passion for building community and helping  people heal comes across in all her interactions. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any  position focused on engagement, consciousness-raising and holistic well-being. She will undoubtedly make a positive impact wherever she goes.”

“It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Tiara. I have had the pleasure of working with Tiara at Women with Purpose, collaborating on several marketing projects. I was particularly impressed by Tiara’s ability to handle even the toughest turnaround times—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among digital marketing professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. I am always in awe of Tiara’s ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas—even people who were initially completely not interested in being filmed or interviewed for video production.

Tiara’s ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of the Women with Purpose team. Tiara approaches each task with a high level of confidence, but she also understands the importance of following explicit orders to make a production successful. She is also a self-directed learner, often putting in several hours just to get closer to perfect post-video production. She has stayed up to date with all of the changes to production technology, which makes her even more valuable to any marketing or business project. But if there was one thing I would like to highlight the most, aside from Tiara’s fantastic collaborative style, it would be her videos. Women with Purpose has dramatically increased its online presence in no small part because of Tiara’s videos. She has an uncanny ability to capture people in their natural state and as any marketer can attest, we are all looking for authenticity.  As a result, our engagement has been through the roof and the organization has been able to ramp up efforts to advance and empower the local community. Tiara will be an asset to any team - although selfishly we’d love to keep her forever! As a team member or a leader, Tiara earns my highest recommendation. Any employee would be lucky to have her.
