Your knowledge, thoughtfulness, steadiness, and dependability amidst change impress everyone who works with you. During a time of transitions, you have provided indispensable continuity in the Office of the Executive Vice President and Treasurer. You have helped new arrivals adjust to the demands of a critical leadership role in a large, complex organization. At the same time, you have helped the directors and staff of the many offices that report to the Executive Vice President and Treasurer to do their jobs effectively, anticipating their communication, logistical, and scheduling needs. Your professionalism and poise in all situations make you "the ideal interface" and "a joy to work with."
