Bio
James Richardson
Michaela has been an invaluable member of the team. Her intellect, work ethic, acumen for relationship building and inquisitivness are easy traits to both recount and observe. These attributes have allowed her to flourish within challenging projects that are transforming our client's business and the agency's approach to project management. Within the Agency, Michaela has built strong relationships with the team, primarily because she has elevated thoroughness to an art. It shows up in several ways. She can digest massive amounts of information that are relevant to different members of the team and dissemble its strategic impact quickly; for project teams operating under the pressure of deadlines and multiple assignments, that's vital. This thoroughness also translates to her management approach. Project's managed by Michaela always way feel stable, even when risks and issues creep in. Teams feel that steady hand and know they've got someone who fully understands what needs to happen to ensure success. I'll miss working with her and know that Michaela will experience success in equal measure in whatever firm is lucky enough to land her.

Michaela is one of the best Project Managers I have come across. In a fast-paced, constantly changing environment she keeps a cool head, a firm grasp on the details and happy smile. She knows when to do things herself and when to ask for help and, as a result, engenders a high degree of trust and confidence. Equally at home when managing clients or working out a complex specification, she is a true all-rounder. I hope to work with her again one day.
