Elizabyth is one of the best Project managers in the biz, and mostly because she is so much more than that. A detail oriented master of management with a keen eye for design and word-smithing all rolled up into one extraordinary package. She has a winning personality and is easy to get along with and someone you can trust to keep her cool even in the midst of deadline mayhem. I highly recommend her and hope to have a chance to work with her again myself soon.
