Quality Control
"In reviewing in-depth interview transcripts for multiple CDC projects focused on HIV prevention and treatment in target populations, Celeste is very organized and thoughtful in her work. She communicates well and often, but not too much. She is warm and friendly and works quite well with others. She is dependable, resourceful and versatile. She works with an eye toward improvement and streamlining, which is really great. She aims to continually improve her processes in thoughtful ways. She provides and receives feedback in really productive, helpful ways."
