Bio
Angela García Achalandabaso, MA, DPI
I had the pleasure of managing and working closely with Linh for about 4 years while we both worked at Memrise. I was always impressed by Linh's efficiency, commitment, and organizational skills. From the beginning, she demonstrated an eagerness to grow and develop, never shy of learning new things and taking risks. Linh is a creative individual and she can bring that to anything she's working on. An empathetic, fun, and supportive workmate, I think she would make a great asset at any company.
Chloé Brechbühl
I had the pleasure of working with Linh and can only highly recommend her: she is extremely efficient and organised, has a strong work ethic, and is very good at what she does. She is at the same time very creative, and a natural problem solver. Plus, she was the beating heart of our team when it came to putting together team socials or even just team lunches and other fun things. Any team would be lucky to have her!
