Pat was great to work with. Always friendly, always supportive, and helpful when figuring out technical details.
Source: LinkedIn Llewellyn Hinkes-Jones May 5, 2013Pat Tanzola is one of the smartest people I know. A long time ago he served as co-editor in chief of the Queen's Journal and made the rest of us better writers. Later, Pat and I also collaborated on an interview for The Walrus, where he was digital director. Pat appears to work really hard but also happens to be a great leader who subtly persuades you to believe that his ideas are your own. Equally at home in the world of linguistics and business administration, Pat would make a great asset for any organisation. He also has some highly original and spectacular ideas which, if pursued, would benefit us all. His awesome creativity gets things done.
Source: LinkedIn Christopher Watt May 5, 2013I worked with Pat for two years at Queen's University's official undergraduate paper The Journal. In the first year we worked alongside each other as colleagues and in the second year he was my supervisor as editor-in-chief. Pat did a brilliant job as ed-in-chief and was respected by the entire team. He was encouraging and supportive but not afraid to give constructive criticism when he saw fit. While clearly very intelligent, he was also often the source of good humour when stress was high. Many years later, we still laugh about some of our recurrent Journal jokes. I think anyone would be delighted to work with/for Pat.
Source: LinkedIn Deena Douara May 5, 2013Pat is a brilliant, hard-working humorist with excellent knowledge of the technical aspects of website design and content management. I would not hesitate to recommend Pat to anyone who is looking for a highly creative employee who thinks outside the box.
