Elsie was an absolutely pleasure to work with, she has a fantastic mix of brains, confidence and excitement to learn and experiment new challenges as related to her job activities. She was invaluable in our new business efforts, providing on-the-mark competitive and industry research as related to our prospects. Always arriving with a smile, Elsie was ready to tackle new tasks and approached each day as a new opportunity to learn.

Herb Ritchell

Diligent, articulate, polished are words I'd used to describe Elsie. She's an enthusiastic team player with first class professional experience. She never disappoints. I've known her for three years and she's earned my hardiest endorsement.
