I hired Nicole on a temp basis to help develop a plan to attract more international, specifically Chinese, shoppers to our shops. During this time, she planned and organized a Chinese New Year event and partnered with local Chinese businesses and incorporated Chinese traditions into promotional materials for shoppers. Nicole understands the Chinese market very well, and better yet, is passionate about building intercultural partnerships. She is a fantastic liaison between clients and vendors, takes ownership, and sees projects through from start to finish. I know I can trust Nicole and continue to count on her for miscellaneous projects. In addition to her work skills, she is an overall absolute pleasure to be around and wholeheartedly contributes to the success of a team. I highly recommend Nicole.
