During the time Sonja and I were work colleagues in China, I observed a great readiness and willingness to get things done in a thorough and effective manner. She is also able to quickly and successfully deal with new problems, and is capable of independently acquiring new knowledge and skills. Her interaction with both managers and co-workers was always professional and to the point. She is a team player who contributes strongly to a good working atmosphere.
