“I will start with the bottom line: Vickie is an outgoing, generous, resourceful individual. I first encountered Vickie in Linkedin discussions. I noticed that she had a generous nature and was always sharing helpful info that she found. On June 13th at the PMI-NJ Career Seminar, an event that I organized, we met face to face. What I found out about her is that she is not only has a generous nature she is eager to learn. I watched her during my session on 'Developing your Elevator Pitch'. She was very focused and determined. When I attended the next session, we were given the opportunity to give our elevator speech. Well she nailed it. At the end of the event she volunteered to tabulate the evaluation forms from the event. I expected a spreadsheet of numbers well I got a professional report with analysis and recommendations. Talk about going beyond my expectations she did. She now has volunteered to be a part of the PMI-NJ Career Networking LIG.”

“Vickie has a penchant for everything Social-Networking and Project Management. If you follow her on Twitter, you'll be treated to a steady stream of great articles on both of the subjects and more-over a bunch of info that touches on the combination of both! She has a wonderful ability to add value to every bit of information she passes along. Like a great chef, she takes the ingredients and somehow makes them more valuable together than the tasty morsels are before being combined. You can also learn that she likes to give to help people and in the process she takes her marketing and music background to whip up a symphony of spin that delights the soul.”

Fresh at my new job, she was one of the first people I met. I found her informed, helpful, and engaging.
