Great humans make great employees. Melissa is a kind, empathetic, and congenial colleague. She's a people-person, and the kind of teammate you'd want to have in any collaborative environment: making people feel comfortable and included comes natural to her. She's reliable and competent, and when our office moved to remote work due to Covid-19, Melissa has consistently completed her tasks on time without fail. Her creativity and problem-solving skills are an incredible resource. In short, Melissa would be a welcomed addition to any staff.
