Katrina did an excellent job in this role, including all corporate processes establishing from scratch in Latvia and was an excellent asset to our organization. She is excellent communicator, extremely organized, can work independently, and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done.

I'm so happy I had a chance to work with Katrina. She is simply great! As a person, and as an employee. We did work together for several years on few projects and she still is one of the very few persons I can really trust my assignments without worries, because she will get the job done. She is very detail-oriented, awesome multi-tasker and great support to anyone who had, has or would have a chance to work with her. If I would have a chance to work with Katrina again, I would do it without any doubt.
