I had the pleasure of working closely with Daniela Ordaz for over four years at VCI Construction, where she served as a Senior Project Specialist. During this time, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand Daniela’s growth as she worked her way from a Project Coordinator with grace and professionalism. Daniela has an extraordinary ability to analyze and interpret data. She has great time management skills and has set the bar within our team’s expectations. Her performance has continued to exceed our expectations with each passing year. Beyond her professional skills, Daniela is a natural artist who has a great eye for visual presentations and excels in a collaborative work environment. Her effective communication and interpersonal skills played a crucial role in motivating our team and achieving our goals. I have no doubt that Daniela will bring the same level of dedication, creativity, and leadership to any organization fortunate enough to have her on board. She would be an asset to any project management team seeking to drive growth and achieve ambitious objectives. Please feel free to contact me at jonsaki@gmail.com if you would like to discuss Daniela’s qualifications further. I highly recommend her without reservation.
