Recos
It is a pleasure to write this recommendation on behalf of Arlene Velez Marese, since I am convinced that she would be an asset to any production or post-production project.
Repeatedly Arlene has shown herself to be an a ...MORE... sset to every project we have worked on together. The depth of her wide-ranging knowledge of film and video project from inception to completion are examples of why she is incredibly value part of any team. She is effective at organizing and coordinating shoots. She is efficient in administrative support for a diverse arrange of projects. Her ability or prioritize and organize workloads to meet strict deadlines; support team members is far and away just a few of the qualities she possesses that make her “a must have” for any production. She is a master at establishing and maintaining strong working relationship with management, staff as well as internal and external groups.
Arlene is creative in her problem solving and is always ready with a solution because of her experience she has an ability to “predict the future”.
Without reservation I recommend Arlene for consideration for your project. That is unless the schedule conflicts with my production and then we will have a problem.
