"Nina is multi-talented, energetic, and inspiring. At my architect's practice, she performed brilliantly in a role she effectively created, becoming Partnership Secretary. She is a gifted communicator, who was highly regarded by clients and colleagues, and consistently handled complex and sensitive matters with accuracy, foresight and calm efficiency. Nina solved problems quickly and sensibly, often preventing issues before they arose, while managing day-to-day operations with quiet professionalism. I valued her loyalty, commitment and ability to keep a busy practice running smoothly. I enthusiastically recommend her."
