Eric Fithian
To Whom It May Concern, I worked with Megan and she was not only the type who was always on time but who also ready to step in and help our cohort however she could. In fact, one week into our time together I had to take a day off because I got COVID. Megan and others instantly and without question stepped up and ensured the day went as well as it could've. I am grateful to have worked with Megan given the fact that she's an incredibly responsible and talented developer who can fill in with short notice as needed. She's also very talented in terms of her tech understanding and willingness to spend extra time helping students on the side with whatever issue they may be hitting. I'm grateful to have worked with Megan and I know that any company would be lucky to have a developer who is this talented and who will help those they work around while being flexible enough to jump into new circumstances as needed. Sincerely, Eric
