Feedback from M. Davis (Cybersecurity):

"While supporting Cybersecurity, Nicole took on some very challenging ER Cases. I found myself learning more from her during this time, than she most likely learned from me. Because of Nicole's experience with ER related items, she is detailed, organized and thoughtful about her approach to these difficult situations. Additionally, Nicole has an ability to connect to employees and foster an environment that creates meaning to the situation. Nicole might also be one of the most patient people I know! I am so glad that I got the opportunity to work with Nicole. It was great to not only get some relief in terms of workload, but also to build on the relationship. I would be happy to work with Nicole again in the future."
