Bio
Matthias Stephan
Astrid is an extremely hard worker, and has shown an ability to take difficult and diverse subject matter and present it in a clear, manageable framework. Her thesis, through its careful in-depth research and original insight, demonstrates Astrid’s ability to work independently on a large project, set her own goals, and produce excellent results. She also did so with no delay in her education, and submitted on time. Astrid was a joy to work with, not only for the quality of her research, but for her clear organization and focus. She came to each session well-prepared, with a clear agenda, developed questions, and a determination to produce the best possible project. I have no doubt that she would succeed in any endeavour she chooses to pursue. In short, I believe Astrid Okholm Larsen would be a valuable asset to any workplace, both in her hard work and collegiality. I give her my unqualified recommendation.
Allan Vestergaard Hermansen
Astrid started out her Swap Language journey in the Aarhus Community, and when she moved to Copenhagen, where she smoothly joined the Copenhagen Community. Now she is currently the Lead Ambassador. Her skills are especially within structure, planning and an excellent sense of how to delegate tasks and communicate effectively. As a Lead Ambassador, she makes sure that the relationship with the venue is in alignment with Swap Language. Astrid is one of our best examples of a solid reliable Lead Ambassador.
