I have worked with Yolanda for the past year and have been constantly impressed by her dedication, attitude and communication skills. She proactively searches for solutions and constantly seeks to improve her own skills as well as her team's, resulting in achievement of company objectives. Some months ago, she identified a problem area in another department, and volunteered her own time to help me conduct training to address it. Her input and participation resulted in a significant improvement in that area. She is a definite asset to Breeze and Wyles!
