Towanda is an amazing manager with a knack for problem solving, developing strong teams and rolling up her sleeves to get things done. The amount of days I had to run her out of the office was obscene and a tremendous testament to her willingness to always do what was necessary to get the job done. She exemplifies the definition of a leader and I am excited to see her continue developing and taking on roles of greater influence. I can't say anything more brutally honest to incapsulate Towanda then to acknowledge she is the hardest worker I have had the pleasure to cross paths with in my career.
