Natalie_H: [12:20 PM] Is that ok? Natalie_H: [12:21 PM] Joshua that works! [12:22 PM] Hello Joshua, my name is Nicole; I am Natalie's supervisor. How can I Natalie_H: assist you today? [12:24 PM] Joshua I wanted to let you know how superb of a job Natalie is doing. Not only has she saved me countless trips to school but I think the quality of her assistance is unmatched by the face to face interactions I have when I go to campus. She never makes me feel like she's rushing my convo with her. She answers my question even if I repeat myself a couple times and when I'm done speaking [12:26 PM] Joshua [12:27 PM] Natalie_H: with her I feel like i've actually been educated in HCC policies. I've spoke with other people on here but no one handles my requests like Natalie. I work 3 jobs and having her as my HCC liaison makes attending school feasible for someone with my schedule. I can't thank her or whoever hired her enough. My hats off to Natalie That is wonderful to hear! I know that she does a great job and likes to maintain a great experience for students to assist them with reaching their educational goals. I will also send this up to our manager. [12:27 PM] Joshua Thank you Nicole, for taking the time and caring enough to receive feedback on your employees performance. It speaks volumes of the management [12:27 PM] Thank you so much for the great compliments Joshua. Is there anything Natalie_H: else that we can assist you with today?
