Cindy Landeros
Summer was a great addition to the team. Always ready to learn and share her knowledge with the rest of the team. I was really impress by Summer's ability to take initiative on projects given to her. Among other things Summer worked on creating and maintaining spreadsheets, analyzing financials, and fixed assets. When the company's audit began she assisted in providing analysis/spreadsheets and communicated with the auditors when needed. It was a pleasure working with Summer on the same team and she is still highly missed at the office. Any employer would be lucky to have her on the team as she would bring high accounting skills and positive attitude.
