Bio
Leonard Wyma
Elizabeth is a joy to work with. As project manager on several projects I was involved with, she efficiently responded to issues and seemed to know the answers almost before I asked my questions. Add to that a friendly, patient and positive disposition and the work couldn't have gone any smoother or had any better a result.

I have enjoyed working with Elizabeth on multiple virtual and on-site museum projects. Elizabeth is an accomplished and talented project manager (and more!) who is able to keep the communication flowing within a large team of professionals in order to bring a project to fruition -- not always an easy task when dealing with the translation aspect of things. Furthermore, Elizabeth's cheerful and positive attitude is, as far as I am concerned, one more reason why I truly hope to work with her again and again in the future.
