Bio
Shaun Wilhelm, MBA
I worked with Cassandra at Thyssenkrupp for more than a year. During that time I found her to be eager to learn and take on new challenges. One of our customers is very demanding and she was able to respond quickly and effectively to their requests. Also, she is able to adapt to changing business conditions which I feel is another great asset in today's environment. Cassandra will add value and be a great addition to any team.

Cassie is a very bright and outgoing young engineer who was a member of my team for about a year. We selected Cassie from a pool of candidates primarily because she conveyed an intense eagerness to learn while contributing to our team, coupled with resolute confidence in her knowledge and skills. Cassie quickly stood out as an APQP engineer; she earned the lead role on multiple projects much sooner than any of her counterparts, did not hesitate to question whatever was unclear in collaborative discussions, challenged the status quo, delivered quality in a efficient & professional manner, and sought, identified and earned new business for our team. Cassie also wasted no time initiating and developing relationships with Caterpillar’s Operator Station engineering team, managers and even the Chief Engineer. She quickly learned about and joined the workplace improvement team, regularly devoting her own time to supporting efforts to make our work environment a better place. I highly recommend Cassie; she has a promising career ahead of her and will be an invaluable asset in whatever organization she chooses to join.
