Bio
Carol A. Taylor
Abigail was an integral part of our Templates team. She was always professional, a self starter with exceptional communication skills. She was able to quickly master and manage many complex content tasks in a fast moving environment. I would highly recommend her, and hire her again if I had the chance.

Abigail is an experienced specialist and a great professional. She was instrumental in ramping up quickly for a new and ambiguous project, and leading her peers on a path to getting comfortable with evolving processes and guidance on the project. Abigail is an awesome team player, focused on deadlines and work quality producing content of great quality on time (if not well ahead of time). I would certainly recommend Abigail as an addition to your team and looking forward to work with her again if opportunity presents itself.
