Bio

I am a designer, and Megan was my primary liaison within the sales team. I found it very rewarding to work with her on design and web projects—she was clear and articulate about the sales team's project needs, while also open to input from the marketing department where appropriate. Her communication skills are top notch, and I appreciated her ability to both delegate and listen carefully—things always got done, and done well. She uniquely understood the spectrum of each person's role & responsibilities within the company, which made her a trusted and highly regarded colleague. She also has a great sense of humor! Very skilled and beloved co-worker.
