“Amanda is the best employee/coworker I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Period. Her upbeat attitude, willingness to take on any and all projects, ability to manage those projects, and her drive to get things done make her the ideal candidate for any employer. I have worked closely with Amanda for nearly two years now and I have seen her knock every project, big or small, out of the park. She excels at legitimately everything she does and it is inspiring to be in the same room as her, let alone work with her. Every day that I interact with her I am reminded of how lucky I am to work (have worked) with someone as talented and positive as Amanda. I simply cannot stress enough that you will fail to find a better addition to your team than Amanda.”
