Bio
Michael Schmidt
I have worked in the international artistic freedoms field for several years alongside Meltem Dramer. Seldom does one encounter such a humble yet amazingly competent young woman. She's able to calmly keep track of multiple developments simultaneously and never lets anything (or anyone!) fall through the cracks. That's a tough call when handing international projects in several languages with participants from innumerable countries operating in so many different time zones. I have no hesitation in recommending her!
