I first met Rebecca when I was running the DB2 Certification program. I'm glad to tell you that Rebecca was an active and critical contributer to the development of several of the current exams. If you can create questions for a certification exam, you must KNOW your stuff very well! The exams improved with Rebecca's involvement.
