Katie was a client that I worked with for a large, complex and multifaceted monthly project. The scope of this job was huge, and changed regularly including VDP, inventory, POD and supplied components... wrangling all of the above was an intense and difficult responsibility. Katie handled it with grace, grit and professionalism. Her organizational skills made my job doable, her humor and friendship made my job enjoyable. She is a bright, articulate communicator with amazing foresight and planning abilities.
