I love what Liljia and James are doing for the allergy community. Eating out is the thing I worry about the most, as all my serious anaphylactic reactions have happened when I trusted a food service establishment. This is so important, so helping people find safe places, share their experiences and learning best practises for staying safe when eating out is so important. Thank you Liljia. Tirelessly working to raise awareness for the community.

Having worked with Liljia on the Environmental Agency Account I have found her to be proactive, efficient and very professional. I would highly recommend her for any position as she naturally rises up to the occasion when presented with something she is passionate about.
