Susan worked for Thomson West harvesting court file records from the Multnomah Circuit Courthouse in Portland for over a year. She worked diligently and productively in a project environment that had no onsight direct supervision. She is a self-starter and she is able to apply her ingenuity to overcome obstacles placed in the way of the project. Susan is dependable, focused and a quick learner. She gets the job done and done right. I highly recommend her. John Hargens Thomson Reuters
