Karen Huizar
Thyra was an extremely valued member of my administrative team. She worked independently, using sound judgment in managing her priorities and providing administrative support to a group of remote executives and heavy travelers. Thyra was also very skilled in identifying process flaws and offering suggestions for improvement. The fact that she is so personable and was such a team player was just the icing on the cake!
Sonia Montenegro-Garza, MAA
Thyra, you were always a great employee! I loved how you always learned quickly and worked efficiently with pride. If I had a team where I could bring my own pick of people, you'd be at the top of my list! I could always rely on you as you are a self-starter and did not need to be micro-managed. Thank you for always having been exceptional.
