was helpful in getting all the required paperwork done. She explained all

the medical and dental benefits and made sure I knew the cost as well. If I

had any problems she would listen to me with a open mind and was very

understanding. She is definitely a professional human resources person and

I would enjoy working with her again someday. I wish there were more people

like her in human resources so that you can go to her and know that she
