Martin Littlejohn
Nina was a big help at Crankworx...very knowledgeable about mountain biking in BC and very professional when dealing with the public.
Deanne Steven, MBA
Nina is the most concientious and reliable person I have ever met. She far exceeded my expectations and was an absolute pleasure to have working with us. Through challenging times she remained composed and was able to find creative solutions to working with the kids. She never had a sick day, nor was ever late for work. She is highly professional and I would happily recommend her for any future employment.
