Carol Woodard, Manager, FedEx
I have worked with Ruth on several large custom elearning initiatives. She is conscientious, and
easy to work with. Ruth directs her attention to her clients’ needs and interests in managing
projects, and providing insight and support. Ruth is creative in identifying learning solutions,
while considering business issues, the end learner, and content requirements.
Beverly Winkler, Senior Director, Medco
Ruth was extremely responsive to our requests. She fully understood the client’s point of view
and worked with the technical team to come up with creative solutions to satisfy our needs. At
the end, we were very pleased with the elearning program, and we engaged her service again to
project manage two additional enhancements to the original product.
