I can highly recommend Asta. She brought her keen intelligence and open mind to every challenge we faced while at JWT together and always found a great solution. Everyone on our team enjoyed working with Asta from our clients to the most junior intern. She treated everyone with respect and has that rare quality of being a good listener!
