Bio
Ashlee Lasher, M.S.
Katie is one of the most highly motivated and detail oriented people I have had the pleasure of working with. Katie and I worked together as contractors to Globalfoundries HR Operations team for approximately 15 months. Katie assisted in training me and 3 other new hires when I first started working with the company. She was a very adaptive trainer and was able to tailor her training techniques to each individuals needs. Katie was always going above and beyond and was more than willing to help others as needed; she was also not afraid to ask for help if she needed it. Katie's ability to juggle multiple projects and handle even the most difficult people was one of the things I always found so impressive. I would hands down recommend Katie to any employer.
