I have worked with Helen Garity for approximately the past two years. I find her to be extremely professional, in every sense of the word. She is knowledgeable, has excellent judgment, and brings quality to all her work. She is a person of great integrity, and can always be counted on to follow through with any commitment she makes. I would highly recommend Helen as a colleague, and have appreciated her as such.
