Mark Breen
I had the opportunity to work with Alexa organizing and executing an Export conference. I found Alexa to be positive, collaborative and detail oriented without being inflexible. Alexa is a great team player and I look forward to working with her again on future projects.
Gail LeGresley
Alexa is an extremely bright and highly motivated individual who would be an asset to any team. She has the ability to grasp new concepts quickly and to put them into action. Alexa has above average people skills and works very well with clients as well as with her colleagues - both her peers and those in Management. She is results oriented and solution focused and a keen learner. It was my great privilege to manage Alexa!
