Bio
Jerry Murck
Vicki is a diligent and effective manager. She takes initiative, applying her skills and work experience to new projects and process improvement. Vicki works well on a team, is comfortable in a leadership role. She develops effective relationships with colleagues. Vicki is pleasant to work with, and I recommend her without reservation.

I worked with Vicki over the course of several years in CWT, and under several capacities as her role changed within CWT. I have always found Vicki to be hard working, approachable, knowledgable about what can and can't be done. She has been and remains a problem solver. She has always been a go to person for me for issues and data quality. She successfully implemented several processes and functions that my team eventually took over from here, and this transition was managed smoothly due to Vicki's organisational and functional skills, along with a great handover process. Vicki is tenacious and keen to do her job to an exacting and high standard every time, and I feel she would be an asset to any team she works in. Vicki is more than capable of working alone, but can still understand and contribute successfully to moving the team / department forward.
