Individual endorsement

Professionalism Adaptability Patient Team player Detailed Hard working Motivated

Do you need a dev that can change with the changing wind of the marketplace remain professional and courteous in tense situations. This bright young lady is the perfect candidate. Detailed, hard working and motivated, she was professional in every sense of the word while working with our project and we would be more than happy to have her stay and glad to write her a reference letter if she so desires. She was a great team member to have on the project.

Team feedback

Lorraine was a great worker and did superior documentation for the next crew to be able to pick up exactly where she left off and understand how she got to that point. Worked well with other team mates and was the best in her group at being able to pivot tasks when requested to change focus due to needs of the project. When there was a team conflict on how to do a section of the project 4 meetings ended up occurring with significant discussions. When told to change direction, one member dropped the project completely, another became vacant until the end of the project, but Lorraine, simply pivoted and kept working diligently. Business always has changes happen and to have employees that can change to the needs of the business regardless of their own desires, or thoughts is extremely valuable. That is a leadership style trait and a great asset that Lorraine demonstrated very well. I would gladly write a reference letter for her career progression.
