“Megan consistently goes above and beyond in her duties, providing exceptional support to our employees. One of her most remarkable qualities is her ability to handle complex and challenging situations. She has a keen eye for detail and a meticulous approach to her work. When Megan brings forward an idea for a Workday enhancement and completes system testing prior to implementing Workday changes, I have absolute faith that everything has been thoroughly researched and every situation has been considered.”
