I've known Paula for four years. I have seen her dedication and commitment to excellence in both her professional and volunteer work. She is smart and she gets things done. She is a natural leader that quickly earns peoples trust and respect. She has taken three scrum workshops with me and was a star pupil each time. She has assisted at my Certified Scrum Master workshop, and did an excellent job. If you get a chance to hire her, trust me, jump on it!
