I worked closely with Melanie Barrera during her positions as both Risk Analyst and Sr. Procurement Analyst at Assurant, Inc. Melanie is consistently professional, talented, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and reliable. She is extremely hard-working, always thorough in her due diligence and attention to detail, she is an outstanding communicator, and she has a strong sense of organization and prioritizing. I have been constantly impressed by Melanie’s ability to meet deadlines, her ability to handle a high-volume workload, and I have admired and appreciated her calm and positive demeanor during complex or challenging times. Melanie has also demonstrated herself as both a leader and a team member who always displays an enthusiastic and positive attitude and ability to work and collaborate well with others. Melanie Barrera has my highest recommendation!

I have had the opportunity to work directly with Melanie on several large-scale efforts. Whenever we collaborated, it was a high-visibility effort that was far from the norm. Melanie approached the challenges with her usual upbeat personality. She captured requirements with incredible detail and overturned every stone to find a solution. All too often people look for reasons something can't be done: Melanie will find a way! A true pleasure to work with!
