Comments on individual's major strengths: Erica's ability to grasp concepts quickly and ask well thought out questions to ensure complete
comprehension of requested tasks made this project viable. It was unclear whether we were going to attempt this undertaking and
after her first week we knew we would be able to implement and complete with her leadership. She requires minimal supervision and
worked well with every person she incorporated into the project.
