Athanasia is a consumate professional who is detail-orientated and pragmatic. Her experience covers a broad range of therapeutic areas and she is adept not only in terms of her scientific writing but also in her presentation skills. I am happy to recommend Athanasia as a thoroughly reliable individual who is committed to the highest quality standards.
