Annie is a solid HR professional that has the ability to not only provide her business partners with great guidance, but also develop relationships that allows her to gain their confidence and trust. As a peer, she is definitely a team player -never hesitating when I reached out to her for assistance. Annie always worked hard -but still found time to make our office/team a fun place to work as well.
