Nabilah has helped me in meticulously editing most of the personalised children's books that I've written. In addition to that, she selflessly shares her creative ideas to help me improve and never fails to motivate me with her kind compliments. Personally, I enjoy reading her works and hope to one day work on a collaboration together.

Nabilah is a diligent and detailed worker. A great writer, she is very social media-savvy, and also very creative. Nabilah is enthusiastic, lively and a good team player. She also manages stress and a huge workload very well. Nabilah would be an asset to any company.
