I've been fortunate to get Madeleine to my assistant and work together with her during time 2016-2018 at Five Seasons. I really appreciate her passion for the work, the desire to always learn something new and the perseverance to take care of things on time. Her strong knowledge and skills, the use of many drawing programs, and the ability to handle a variety task were of great help to me and the entire team. While working with her, I was able to fully trust her knowledge different work field and her conscientious, hard working attitude. Madeleine is a great person, very positive, really easy to work with and she is always ready to help anyone who needs support or guidance. She helped me in so many ways and I learned immensely from her about the possibilities of operating different drawing programs. As we worked closely together, we also became good friends. I can warmly recommend her to any job she is applying for, as she is a reliable and genuine person who everyone can rely on.
