Recommendations
"It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for Rachel Pugh. I have worked with Rachel several times on different projects - capturing discussion during workshops, preparing first reports, reviewing and correcting scientific articles. She has shown determination, zeal and accuracy even with some difficult projects. She has always demonstrated strong commitment. Rachel is a person who will always deepen her knowledge prior to an event if the topic is new for her. Besides her business skills, Rachel is a very pleasant person to work with"
