I have had the opportunity of working with Kim on a number of large scale projects and I have to say that Kim is one of the most professional and dedicated people I have met. Kim is well organized, driven, and has a proven history of bringing projects to completion while managing the ever needy clients and internal resources. She brings a positive attitude to problems and is not afraid to jump into the fray when help is needed. It was a great pleasure to work with Kim and I look forward to doing it again.
