Bio
Kleida Martiro
It has been a great pleasure to know Nora both professionally and personally. During the time we worked together, she showed an impeccable passion and strength in analytics, data and numbers. Nora demonstrated a meticulous attention to detail, great pride in her work, and a very strong ability to work effectively within a team construct as well as independently. Nora fully devotes herself to any project she is working on, delivering an excellent work caliber, and always shows curiosity and is very hungry to learn. Beyond work, Nora is able to engage those around her in a meaningful way, and she always brings a positive energy and friendly vibe with her. I am certain she will be a value added to any team she will join in her future endeavors.

Nora and I worked together on two different occasions: First as interns at Allen & Gerristen and then next at DigitasLBI. During both instances, Nora's passion for analytics has shined through. She always wants to look further into the data in order to craft the right story with substantial backup. Beyond the work, Nora has such a positive, friendly vibe to her at all times. People want to be friends with Nora and people want to work with Nora. Not only do people want to work with her, they want to continue working with her project after project as she is a great collaborator who brings a lot to the table. I highly recommend that you consider adding such a dedicated coworker, employee and friend to your team.
