Words from people I've worked with.
Words from people I've worked with.
" You are always curious and considerate about the users and always open and engaging with all working partners (engineers, TPMs, product people, designers, a11y people, etc etc) You do the work of 2 people for 2 teams. I don’t know how you did it, but I am very glad that I got to work with you on them! I’m sure the millions of students and teachers using New Lit in the years to come will appreciate your work like we do as well."
