Though I knew Lorraine personally prior to hiring her, it was her professional demeanor that made me certain that she was the right woman for the job. She consistently dealt with our clients in a proficient way going above and beyond. Our clients were disappointed when she left. Given the opportunity, I'd be happy to have Lorraine represent our company at any time.
