I had the pleasure of working with Dana, who was then my direct manager, at Columbia University's Career Center. Dana was organized, knowledgeable, problem-solving oriented and most importantly kind. She was always ready to help a customer and her colleagues. I strongly believe Dana will be an asset to any organization that values customers!

Such an outstanding person. Smart, detailed and very dependable. Goes beyond the call of duty in making things run smoothly. Highly recommended.
