Every manager has one employee that is their "go to person". Cyndi was exactly this to me for years. She is extremly depenable always finishing what was requested on time with great accuracy and creativity. Her design skills are strong in particular her desire to research and intergrate new, unique materials and products. She works well on her own and even better in a group. Always willing to jump in, Cyndi can listen to a brief explanation of what is needed and execute it to a level appropriate for the timeframe given. I highly recomend Cyndi to become an intergral part of your team.
