Nick Tesi
Sonia was a great assistant and managed the administration of our business. She started by reorganizing all our files and assisting in all aspects. She worked along very well and took the process and developed it to work smoothly. She was a delight to have in our employment.

Sonia is Brilliant, Creative, Hard-working, Energetic, Kinda and an absolute joy to work with - as she also has a great sense of humor! She was my supervisor in one of my first jobs at a major agency at the start of my professional career - and I can say with great certainty that she will always be one of the best Supervisors and Mentors that I've had the fortune to have worked with. She exemplified the role of a nurturing mentor - and leader. I remember Sonia being extremely supportive and always providing guidance with great respect. I learned a great deal from Sonia, about working in an agency environment - and working with various personalities and styles. I will always be grateful for having worked with Sonia. Any company will be extremely fortunate to have Sonia be part of their team. I would enthusiastically work with Sonia again!
