May 9, 2013, FitzSimons worked with Patricia in different groups

Current advice says "avoid the word passionate in your CV". This is not Patricia's CV but she is indeed passionate about the use of language and good communication, as well as the causes she writes about. Her texts are vivid, accurate and striking. She is rigorous, hard-working and committed to both the highest quality and to meeting deadlines. (If only contractors shared the same values ...) In addition, she is intellectually stimulating and fun to work with.
