An Applause for
Angie Martinez
Computer Specialist
October 2019
“Angie is always quick to respond to questions or concerns with a smile. She has stepped in multiple times, often on very short notice, to solve technology problems for me, and I very much appreciate her support!”
• • •
“Angie is smart, professional, and always relaxed and friendly. She's happy to teach me in a way that's never makes me feel like the tech idiot I am. I've also been impressed with her ability to keep her cool regardless of the situation.”
• • •
“I nominate Angie for the award because of her outstanding support for our department, her unfailing professionalism, and generous collegiality!”
• • •
“Angie has done exceptional work in our department. She is very knowledgeable--and, as one of the more "technically challenged" people in our department--I can attest to the fact that she also has infinite patience. There has never been a problem she was not willing to help with and, inevitably, solve. She does it all with kindness and humor. She definitely deserves a huge round of applause!”
• • •
“Angie meets the technological demands of a large department with calm and kindness. I am grateful for the many times she has come to my class to fix a problem--saving the day!--or helped me with a problem on my own machine, so I can continue to do my work. She is a pleasure to work with--someone who makes a much-appreciated positive contribution to the department culture!”

“As someone in English, Angie is often the person who arrives after I've submitted a "help request." I can't say enough good things about her. She is so professional, smart about the technology questions I have, and understanding! At the same time, I've been in large group settings with her (when she's addressing a group of department teachers, for example)--and I've watched her really kindly but authoritatively draw some boundaries around what she can and can't (won't) do. I know that can be difficult to do. And she does it so gracefully. It's rare to see someone who is both so generous and so professional. I'm just so grateful to have her working with us!”

“Angie does her job with expertise, efficiency, and intelligence. She also does it with good humor, care, and patience. She also has far too many people and far too many places to cover every day, but somehow she does it and gets on top of problems quickly (and solves them quickly). She's super and has saved my behind many times, and I bet that goes for everybody that she works with.”
