Nicole is both highly motivated and organized, dedicated to service for Company and Customer. She is both professional and competent. It was a pleasure to work with, and rely on Nicole for the 6 years she was in charge of our account. An employer would not have to worry about any mis-aligned motivations, dedication, ethics, or reliability. She understands the words "Customer Service" which is paramount to her and it is continually reflected through her actions.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole for several years during her time at Zotos, collaborating on many personal care development projects. I was particularly impressed by her ability to handle even the toughest clients—effortlessly, and maintain her positivity even under stressful circumstances. Nicole is someone who I truly enjoyed working with, and her excellent communication, project management and business development skills make her a valuable asset to any organization.
