Benard is an outstanding co-worker with an incredible talent, motivation and work ethics. During the Female Footprints Project Benard went above and beyond to make sure the final translation of the book turned out as good as possible and I am so happy to have worked with Benard. I highly recommend others to work with Benard, and I hope to continue to work with him in various capacities going forward.
