"Diligent", "process oriented" and "team player" are three words that come top of mind when describing Carlin. In my time working with her, Carlin always brought to the table a very strategic planning style that not only prioritized efficient and timely deliverables, but also considered the working styles of the stakeholders involved in order to optimize processes towards individuals strengths. What makes her stand out of a crowd of candidates is her eagerness to learn about the minutiae of the different projects she manages, in order to minimize the risk of errors during cross-team communication. This sort of individualized planning style created an environment of trust within teams that resonated not only within the company, but also with clients.

Carlin Thomas is the kind of professional that every team needs to get the job done WELL. I was constantly amazed working with Carlin. Carlin's professionalism was able to set the course for a successful team. We all know, when a project underway many problems and concerns come up. Carlin could always find a clear and easy path through the complicated projects we worked on. Thanks, Carlin!
