Trusted Consultant with Efficiency & Empathy

I’m so glad to have Parker as a consultant to collaborate with. I trust Parker’s judgement because she wisely identifies what she can do on her own and what requires more consensus, buy-in, or clarification from the client. 


She always makes work more efficient and effective, with a proven track record of process improvement. I trust that Parker's high emotional intelligence, tact, and personal integrity will impress my clients, so suggesting her will make me look good and make the team stronger. 


She is a great fit for challenging consulting projects because of her ability to adjust, re-assess, and deliver on tight deadlines under conditions with a lot of uncertainty and change.
