Ali is an incredible teammate, leading by example, going above and beyond on every project and committing 100% to delivering the best product and service to all stakeholders. She supported me while I started out with Global Glimpse, showing me the ropes, and is a very consistent voice of reason. She is flexible, conscientious, and talented, and is one of those people who just "gets it". Her ability to organization spreadsheets makes collaborating with her easy, and she has a good eye for identifying new projects and getting them underway. What a pleasure it is to work with Ali!
