I had the pleasure of collaborating with Margie on a water quality sampling project this summer. I found her to be enthusiastic and conscientious worker with a good understanding of natural systems. As we begin to write the project report, I am finding her writing skills to be impeccable. Margie is a great catch for any team, and I'm happy to have her on mine.

Margie is a bright, detail-oriented, and diligent professional who is very easy & fun to work with. As a product manager, she was not only able to manage large-scale projects but was also successful in managing personnel along the way. She is the type of person who always has an answer or is willing to go out of her way to get you an answer. It's been a great pleasure to work with her.

Margie has the rare combination of large scale digital marketing expertise and innovative web development. This allows her to not only exceed expectations in her own group but take on the monumental challenges that fall outside everyone else's job descriptions. From managing the redesign of a 10,000+ page corporate website with advanced SEO concerns in mind to renovating a decade old digital marketing channel, I have seen Margie charge into and succeed in the largest projects. Her deadlines are fierce, her team spirit motivating, and I highly recommend Margie for your team.
