    “I had the privilege with Whitney at LifeCents during her time as Director of Strategic Operations. I can confidently say that Whitney is the ideal senior officer for any organization. During my initial recruitment for my position, Whitney was quick to respond, decisive and transparent. She moved the process along as fast as she could. By doing so, she conveyed to me that she was serious about me as a candidate for the position and also illustrating that she did not want to waste anyone's time. Even before I was a full time employee for LifeCents, Whitney continued to communicate with me - making me feel a part of the team before I was even there. Onboarding, as you might predict, was smooth and clear in transitioning me into understanding the policies that LifeCents had in place. I soon learned that Whitney not only could easily manage projects to completion, but she also has a wide breadth of professional skills (editing, writing, an eye for design). If you wanted to ensure quality, the answer was always to get Whitney's eyes on the project. Even when she was overloaded with a wide platform of responsibility, Whitney made it a point to review questions or concerns within a timely manner. Although she was a superior, I always felt that I could report my concerns to Whitney as if she were a professional peer. I owe a lot to the professional development I have experienced during the past year that I have been able to work with her.”
