I had the pleasure of working with Mickie at Prysmian. Mickie ability to manage the HR department in two separate organizational environments for one large plant was exceptional. Mickie spearheaded major projects while managing the growing attrition with determination and drive. She is well versed in all aspects of Human Resource modalities and her experience is noticed from the bottom to the top of the organizational structure. I would recommend Mickie for any HR management position with confidence that she will meet deadlines, fix broken processes, promote employee engagement, and bring a professional and experienced perspective to any company she is involved with.

As a former co-worker at Amazon, I had the opportunity to see Mickie in action when it came to associate relations. The way Mickie would make the associate feel at ease and gained their trust firsthand was truly impressive. She also handled management the same way. She is truly a natural born leader, and I was extremely lucky to get to work with her. I also got to collaborate with Mickie during a work event regarding Workers' Compensation. The knowledge she brought to this event was truly remarkable and I felt at ease asking any questions I had. I highly recommend Mickie for her confidence, skill set and her positive attitude she brings wherever she goes.

As an employee at Prysmian, I had the opportunity to reap the benefits of Mickie's experience and knowledge while she was our site Human Recourses Manager. Every interaction I had with Mickie was always professional and she was able to explain the world of HR in laymen's terms. She always was looking for ways to improve the company and help the employees. Whether it was the interview process for new hires, answering questions about the various benefit programs, or simply taking some time to add some "flair" to the entrance area of the plant that gave the appearance that you could feel like "this is a place I want to come to work, and I feel important" as you walked through the hall. She would be a great HR asset to any organization.

Mickie is a great candidate for any HR role and will definitely excel - very little of her many accomplishments include raising employee engagement and creating/cultivating great culture that promotes appreciative work environments for all employees. Amazing interpersonal skills as well, very kind and cares about what she does and the people surrounding her.

I worked with Mickie at our Claremont, NC facility. Mickie was eager to improve engagement by helping employees better understand the impact of the work we do. To that end, she improved the onboarding process to include this kind of content. I think it helped retention--particularly with hourly employees, for whom turnover was particularly high at that time. We also produced a video that provided a high-level overview. I later learned that even some long-time employees were surprised by what they learned from the video.
