I would like to compliment Kirsten on her professional manner and approach this week and Giovanna’s work over the past few months. I through Kirsten in the deep end with a NATA assessment which was rather stressful and demanding.

The professional attitude and quality of work provided through Giovanna and Kirsten has been a significant help over the past few months.
