Philippe Borremans
Having worked with Natalie on a professional education project in the context of pandemic preparedness in the West African region I really appreciated her reactive/proactiveness, her sound understanding of e-learning principles and platforms and project management approach. A true professional, and at the same time a very nice person to work with I can only recommend her for any project that would fit her skills & subject matter expertise. Looking forward to be working with her again!
