Cecilia was a pleasure to have on the team, and always willing to learn and ready to take on the challenges. As an Associate Producer, she was responsible for making sure the team was setup and organized the way it needed to be for every shoot with high level talent. She has a knack for making sure she applies herself, but is also assertive and asks to understand or learn something when she is less familiar, which as a manager I appreciated. I very much enjoyed working with Cecilia and she would be asset to anyone's team or organization.
