Bio
Mark Roberts
I had the pleasure to work with April in several roles, including as her direct manager. April is an action-oriented strategic thinker whose insights repeatedly were the source of our success. Her ability to build rapport and establish herself as a trusted partner to any colleague, customer and team member is unsurpassed. She brought levity and candor to our team that was sorely needed and ensured we remained focused on our strategy and the long-term objectives we had set. April would be a valuable addition to any team and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

I had the distinct pleasure of directly managing April for over a year and half before she promoted into a new role in Marketing (in which, I'm grateful to say, we still work together). April has that great mix of fun, personable, and professional that makes her a joy to work with for everyone. She also knows how to be politely firm and keep people on task when appropriate. I would gladly hire her again for any type of project management or public-facing role, both of which she excels at.
