Bio
Phil W.
Courteous, kind, friendly, and helpful – those are the first things that came to mind when I think about Anne. She consistently shows up with a willingness to roll up her sleeves and solve problems, and she is incredibly team-oriented. More than anything else, Anne is an extremely pleasant person and is easy to approach. While working on her team over several years, I’ve noticed just how much she cares about her work, her clients, and her coworkers. That care and concern is evident in the insightful questions she asks, the quality processes she oversees, her remarkable attention to detail, and her wonderful ability to write and communicate. I’ve learned a lot from Anne as a teammate and human being, and I’m confident she will always raise her teammates and employer to a higher level of performance, regardless of where she works.
