I had the pleasure of working with Anna during my time on the Fonterra Brands account at MediaCom New Zealand. Anna is a second-to-none collaborator who always facilitated a fantastic working relationship with the respective agencies on her brands, with her strategic mind, inquisitive nature and clear communication allowing us to produce some best in class work together. She shows such passion for all the work that she does and the brands that she looks after, and she would be an absolute asset to any business. Our team at MediaCom would absolutely love the chance to work with her again one day!

Anna was working with Fonterra export documentation team part time, while still studying for her business diploma. She was dedicated and very keen to learn. Her performance was flawless and would definitely end up in getting a full-time position with the team, but she successfully qualified for Fonterra business graduate program at that time. I have no hesitation in recommending Anna as a smart, dedicated, and reliable employee! Any business would be lucky to have her!
