She sounds like she could be a welcome addition to that group; she's smart, she is detail-oriented and energetic enough to actually research issues, and her training should come in handy. I suppose she has faults, which Paul Conte has enumerated, but she is only one of many on that group. Her weakness should be balanced by others' strengths.
