You can always count on Nicole to provide clear direction on any matter that she is handling. She is quick to respond to emails and phone calls no matter how many projects she is juggling. It is employees like Nicole that make Franklin County a great place to work.”
The nomination continued, “Nicole is the definition of hard work, dedication and commitment, not just to her job but to county employees. She is forward thinking and always looking for solutions. She demonstrates a strong work ethic and dedication to achieving results. Known as the devil’s advocate, Nicole allows everyone to see both sides; she’s always a voice of reason for the other side of the situation. Nicole always goes above and beyond to help her colleagues and find solutions. She’s an excellent peer and team member.”
Shindle’s outstanding characteristics are attributes that have not gone unnoticed by her peers. She is described as responsive, dedicated, detail oriented and a problem solver.
