I worked closely with Angie for the last five years as her supervisor and found her extremely competent and enjoyable to work with. She is bright, innovative, and ALWAYS dependable. Throughout her employment with Nortel, she consistently displayed a remarkable ability to cope not only in high stress situations, but to actually thrive in them. While reporting to me, when notified of a shortened deadline on an important deliverable, she managed herself and her peer-team with confidence and efficiency, despite the time constraints. I was always grateful when she completed the capacity, traffic, and system robustness verification on or ahead of schedule with excellent quality Angie and I have had the pleasure of working together both directly and indirectly for many years, when she was hired into our organization as a quality assurance engineer. At that time, Nortel was in strong need of a sharp, hands-on, process-oriented individual to develop our Voice over IP product and applications. She demonstrated the drive, innovation, and use of new technology into the emerging VoIP products required to make us successful. Angie worked on all aspects of Verification and Verification Tools Development. She helped design and implement capacity, traffic, robustness verification and related tools, but also implemented all training, measurement, and efficiency procedures related to the tools development and that significantly strengthened our overall production results. Angie works hard and demands significant performance from herself and her peers, and she will spend the time necessary to ensure that she and her peers are properly trained and equipped. The characteristic that is most commendable in Angie is her desire to improve, not simply her projects or peers, but herself as well. We have a very different culture at Nortel. As she realized the changes required to work effectively here, she went to work analyzing herself, seeking feedback and then making appropriate changes to her style, approach, and manner. I believe Angie was able to make significant continuous improvements because of her commitment to do so. This and other valuable characteristics, combined with future potential, should be valuable to any organization interested in developing quality products, services, and their team members. Lastly, Angie is a great motivator and mentor. The employees in our organization were always inspired and prepared to meet new challenges because of her motivational style of engagement. Angie is a natural born leader. She is confident and decisive. She makes everyone around her better and would be an excellent addition to any company."
