Lula does an outstanding job!  She puts forth a sincere effort to learn how and why we do what we do in the office.  She always asking valid questions that show she’s thinking one step ahead about the end result of her actions.  It’s really nice to have someone who cares about our work and has a positive contribution towards such. Lula is very sharp and she's a quick learner which is always nice because it cuts down on the training time when short staffed.
