Testimonials
See all testimonials.
Becky presented herself as extremely knowledgeable and very efficient at updating our procedures and processes in the best interests of our pupils. Whilst her technical ability is without question, her inter personal skills are also very impressive. I have had many staff coming to me and providing compliments at how easy and how much better IT had become under Becky’s leadership. Becky also provided a reassuring presence for pupils responding quickly and sympathetically to their needs.
Becky worked with great enthusiasm and integrity and has impressive emotional intelligence. She always seemed prepared to go the extra mile and meet increasing ICT demand.
Becky has always been quick to respond to calls and was good at keeping staff “in the loop” when working on on-going tasks. Her particular skill is explaining “how to do” certain things to less technically minded staff, creating clear and well thought out instructions. Her people skills are good and her technical knowledge has always appeared very sound.
Becky is a fun, hard-working, creative and tenacious person who always goes out of her way to offer help when required. Great team member!
