Testimonial by Dixon Edwards

Trusted adviser and consultant.

I met Ms. Tawanna Heyward-Bey more than five years ago, when we were introduced by my payroll company who happened to be one of her business payroll clients. They introduced her to me as a Human Resources and Recruitment expert. All these years later, I can still say, the introduction was a great idea and I value my business relationship with her today as a trusted adviser and consultant.
