Grace was a pleasure to work with. Her role in O Trade had a variety of responsibilities, ranging from administrative tasks through to planning and HR support. She demonstrated strong work habits on an ongoing basis, self-organizing to ensure that she delivered what she was responsible for on-time on-quality. She was also a consistently positive member of the team, working collaboratively with others and bringing a friendly professional demeanor to her work. In this context, I have a very positive opinion of Grace and would certainly recommend her for similar roles.
