Her work is extremely varied and complex from strategic to tactical, and often balancing both in the same day. Her broad scope of writing, designing, technical understanding, clear communication, and professional demeanor made her liked by everyone at the company.

She consistently excels in demonstrating the Leadership Principles, particularly the ones mentioned above for high performance culture, give back and deliver results.
