Re: LYDIA GARCIA
I am writing to inform you that Lydia has been a valuable asset to our team in the short time she has been with us as the contracted interim Manager of SPD. Lydia has been key in bringing our SPD department into a highly efficient standard of care department. Lydia has come to us with a high level of expertise and competency changing obsolete practice to the current standard. Lydia conducts herself in a professional manner and acts as if she is the permanent manager showing a sense of ownership. I would not hesitate to bring Lydia back if the opportunity would arise. I highly recommend Lydia without reservation.
Thanks!
