• Rachel stepped in at a moment's notice and handled my interpretation process expertly. With short notice she prepared by reading my briefing notes and studying our company web site. She listened well and communicated with the our vendor easily and efficiently. I was impressed with how she handled issues that may not be extremely technical but they involved terminology and concepts that were foreign to her on Monday and easy for her by the end of the week.
  
  Rachel has lived and worked in English speaking countries and has outstanding translation skills. She has a wonderful personality. She endeared herself to everyone on the team, willingly worked in somewhat difficult engineering lab and rainy outdoor environments and always had a smile and an offer to assist.
