Details of the Recommendation: "At the time I worked with Susan, I was the Accounting Manager for Simpson Pasadena Paper Company. She worked for me directly. Susan was one of two key people in the finance group at SPPC that I leaned on heavily because of her knowledge background and her ability to problem solve quickly in a high pressure business environment. I depended on her frequently to direct the work of others. Susan is dedicated with a great attitude and has the ability to work with people at all levels of the organization to achieve desired results. She takes her work personally but also likes to have fun. Great employee!"
