Alison A. Curtin
What can I say about Rita? She is an incredible asset to our department at Baker & Taylor! Rita's exuberant enthusiasm for books, attention to detail, and her persistence in getting the job done are the major keys to her success. She is a team player, an advocate for her peers and her customers, and has great passion for children's literacy. I couldn't have hoped for a better work colleague!
