My background is engineering. Staying true to the stereotype, writing is not a strength of mine. I also enjoy developing entrepreneurial ideas quickly with other people. At Autopilot, we often find that our minds and collaboration outpace our ability to capture all of the details, document them, and convert them into a useful document for later. When Deborah joins us, we can just go our ways and know that a short time later we will have an accurate written record of our developments. Deborah is great for business plans, grant proposals, and other technical documents. She will ask the right questions that enable her to articulate your thoughts. She has been a great help in allowing me to focus on my strengths while supporting my weaknesses.

Deborah has been an integral part of our internal quality audit program here at Lattice Materials for almost two years. Deborah’s participation is beneficial to us because she offers a unique outside perspective that our internal auditors cannot provide. She has a talent for asking questions that not only prepare our employees for our upcoming recertification audit but also help us uncover any weaknesses that we may have in our system before they become major nonconformances. She takes the audits seriously and is very professional, but each employee she talks to is at ease due to her friendly disposition.

The Local Government Center contracted with Magpie to perform the research for an 11-city salary review and summary report. The survey provided compensation and benefits data to assist municipalities in attracting and retaining public employees in Montana. Deborah worked independently, but collaboratively, to deliver a product that was valued by those who participated in the study. She worked with a variety of city employees across the state to gather and confirm the information needed. We are happy to recommend Deborah’s work to others.
