Bio
Barbara Held
I worked with Lisa for a year at Yola. In my time there, she acted as a mentor to me, taught me a lot and inspired me to do better in my own role. Her work ethic is truly admirable and she will settle for no less than perfection when faced with any task. She not only works well autonomously but also as part of a team, something which I came to really appreciate as her co-teacher. Perhaps her greatest strength is her patience and understanding. As a teacher, she was often faced with hardship and challenges but she managed all situations with great grace and adaptability. I have no doubt that Lisa would make a great part of any team and any company would be lucky to have her!

Phuong is an active learner who has strong leadership skills. The language and cross-cultural competence she developed studying and living abroad comes from her hard work and her natural ability to connect easily with others. She's an asset to any team.
