Joan is someone who is passionate and energetic, and cares deeply about the progress of clients and users like us. She is also bubbly and approachable, and is good at what she does. In spite of our busy schedules, she was very patient and on-the-ball with her follow-ups and took time to catch up with us on-site, which we appreciate.
