Monica is a highly dedicated and approachable analyst who I have had the pleasure of working with at the City of New York. In her many ad-hoc projects, Monica has always tackled and executed tasks in a friendly but persistent manner, which allowed her teammates to always see her as an approachable mentor and/or supervisor. I highly recommend her for any managerial position that requires a detail-oriented individual with excellent communication skills and a team spirit.
