Bio
Cheryl Rose
Infectious enthusiasm. Creative strategizer. "Talk a client off the edge" kind of listener. These few statements describe Liz, plus so much more. I had the privilege of working with Liz as a client and her casual, friendly, confident style easily gained my trust. She offered creative solutions and sound advice for our company and I was grateful for her presence on our account.
Ashley Amyot (Moran)
Liz possesses the skills most people look for in a leader. She is outgoing, intelligent, energetic and empathetic. Her wide array of experience allows her to consistently bring out-of-the-box ideas to the table. Staff members who are at the beginning of their careers constantly look to Liz as a mentor. As a manager, she knows how to provide her team with enough autonomy to do their jobs while still providing the support they need to grow their careers. Having worked under her direct management, I can attest that Liz would be an asset to any team looking for a qualified leader.
