Karen never fails to impress, great communicator and rapport with external customers and internal stakeholders. 100% reliable with great knowledge and understanding in Engineering and Communication technology. Simply one of the good-guys highly recommended.
Bridget Chukwumah
I had the pleasure of working with Karen whilst taking part in beta testing programs. Karen is a true professional with a winning personality. She was always the go to person within my team. She is articulate and a very skilled communicator. No request for help was ever too much for her. She was also a great help during a major business project. She had created some reports for the Beta team which i found to be very useful in my program deployment. She is a true gem.
