Bio
Rob Schluensen
It has been a privilege to represent Marit. Her work ethic, commitment, reliability and interpersonal communication skills are excellent. It's often that I receive praise on her ability to get up to speed quickly, ask good questions and pro-actively seek better ways to deliver on a project. She presents herself as a true IT professional and integrates well with developers, engineers and business employees.

Marit is someone I'm very proud to be working with. She carries a professional demeaner from the first time I spoke to her on the phone, to our in person meeting. Marit has a fantastic work ethic and continues to strive for excellence at PG&E, I've only heard positive comments on her ability to hit the ground running from her superiors. She is incredibly personable and is very easy to get along with. I give Marit my highest regard and believe she would represent herself well at any client.
