Tara started with Nor1 shortly after I did and her knowledge of some of the systems quickly surpassed mine. She is a detail oriented and thoughtful employee as well as a colleague I could count on for assistance and input. I appreciate her willingness to learn and share knowledge. I highly recommend Tara, any organization will benefit with her as a team member.

I had the pleasure of working with Tara. She is such loyal employee and always puts the company first. She is very detail-oriented, can juggle multiple projects, and always willing to take on more.
