Ashley was amazing to work with. She is so efficient and organised. I was always impressed with her willingness to help her co-workers when they needed a hand. Within six months, she was able to work in every department. She covered register, web orders, fulfillment, and more. She can learn anything quickly and her attention to detail is unmatched. I can't recommend her enough. Sincerly, Adelaide
