Dorothy always sees the positive opportunity in every situation and she shares her optimism with everyone around her. She is incredibly organized and keeps very good records of everything she does. She is uniquely compassionate and thoughtful of others. Connection with others is a priority for her, as is observable, based on her actions. Professionalism appears to come naturally to her and she leads by example. She is reliable, personable and asset to any organization that has the privilege to have such a good and hard working person on their team.
