ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have seen Deborah work in a fiduciary capacity for a local business in which she was given the responsibility to open and close the business and make sure it is locked and secure as well as receive money on behalf of the business. Ms. Barry is a polite and respectful young lady with a stellar reputation locally. I would not hesitate to employ her or trust her with valuable goods or information.
