Bio
Jennifer Anderson
Julie was very thorough and accurate in her writing. Her main asset was flexibility and problem solving. many writers I have worked with wanted the information in a certain format. julie could speak with you, glean the important information, synthesize it into an outline and fill in the gaps. she would present a draft for approval instead of requiring stringent piecemeal outlines and content. Doing business with her was very fast and efficient.

Julie was one of my IT Technology users. She is quick to learn new IT software, systems and methods. She is able to understand even the most difficult concepts of the business application software she administered. She always uses innovative ways to use the technology to produce the finest end results. She has excellent communication skills and is very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her for a position that can leverage her many positive attributes.
