“Ceara lives in a creative space. She is a dedicated business professional who approaches problems with the creativity of an artist. When working with Ceara at NorQuest I was impressed with her ability to find innovation solutions, master them, and then teach them to others in a style that was her own. I recommend Ceara for work on teams involving technology, innovation and creativity. And by the way, in case it matters (which it always does) she is fun!”
