I had the pleasure of working with Kelly recently on a vivarium project. Facing a deadline, I had to gather caging specifications and coordinate the technical requirements with the project design team in a very short period of time. Kelly jumped on it and had drawings, specs and pricing with time to spare. Her strong technical knowledge and commitment to client service makes her a valuable partner and I look forward to working with her on future projects.
