I cannot say enough good things about Lolita. Lolita is a kind and genuine person who is always willing to step in and help. She always made sure that I was succeeding and gave me help when it was needed even if she had her own things going on. She is a real team player and wants to see everyone succeed. Working with her was an amazing experience, and she will be a fantastic asset to any team that she joins.
