Bio
Joseph Lemien
I had the privilege to work alongside Justin for a few months, and he stands out in my memory as exactly the type of co-worker I hope to have in all of my future positions. Justin was always a positive presence in the work environment, and his soft skills were something that I valued. Justin's ability to communicate clearly and effectively, to deal well with people of different backgrounds, and to create a strong team are abilities that stand out in my memory. I am sure that any type of work environment Justin finds himself in, these are skills that will be valued by his employer.
