Marianne is a very well organized and determined associate. She strives for the best work from everyone around her, yet she is always has a very friendly attitude in the workplace. At LION she brought the web development team to an entirely new level, and changed the meaning of a 'custom website' for the entire company. She is a wonderful person to work with and is very bright, creative, and inspiring. She would be a valuable asset to any employer.
