Reviews for this job by:

Lisa Ott

We have worked together with Alexandra on several translation jobs for client presentation and communication concepts. She was extremely professional, detail oriented, flexible and a pleasure to work with. We are very satisfied with her translation quality, especially her know-how, professional and efficient job handling and performance. In the past we have worked with other translators, but would definitely prefer to work with Alexandra for upcoming projects.
