Bio
Jamil Raza, GMS
I have worked with Denea at Primacy in the past for over a year. I feel that Denea is highly qualified for several reasons. She is an important contributor, she consistently delivered high quality work, met or exceeded deadlines, and assisted her co-workers at every opportunity. When we were under an especially strict timeline projects, she worked a lot of overtime to ensure the client was pleased. Denea exemplified good character, is a trustworthy, reliable worker, and I highly recommend her for any position position.
Jim Hawn
Denea was my relocation specialist for the duration of my move from MI to NC. The move was lengthy and complicated as I had a house to sell and was moving my family in two stages due to a daughter graduating. She was always eager to assist and was in constant contact, assuring that every step of the transition went smoothly. She was very helpful, a pleasure to work with, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again.
