Crystal Dillinger

Mackinzey and I worked together for 6 months as I was new to the company. During that time I witnessed her putting others above herself and always taking the time to explain processes or help with anything she could. She was very knowledgeable in her area and shared that knowledge with others. She always looked for improvements to better streamline and automate work. She would be a great addition to any team.
