I had the opportunity to work with her & oversee her work in my capacity as the Education group unit manager. I also conducted her performance evaluation with input from several managers. Andrea was the project director of a challenging project (read: over budget, difficult client/subcontract situation), & she did outstanding work while dealing with extensive budget revisions, navigating a sensitive situation, & eventually salvaging the relationship with the client. All the while, she maintained a professional demeanor, a positive outlook, & a good sense of humor.” Specialties: Qualitative and quantitative research backgroundless
