“The Peripatetic Polyglot”

“Angela's performance has always been of high quality and... she has been one of our most dependable volunteers. Furthermore, we have been impressed with her very calm and efficient way of handling every situation.” - Nora Ferera, Coordinator of Volunteers, M.O.S.A.I.C., Vancouver, BC, Canada.

“She demonstrated ... a level of initiative which was able to achieve results to the satisfaction of all concerned. With her ability to work in seven languages, Angela has demonstrated abilities which many aspire to but few achieve. She is able to work in harmony with many different types of people. Her wide range of interests and experience make integration into a group relatively easy. In any case, her strong sense of humour will rapidly dissipate tensions and reticence.” - Nigel Robson, Head of Division, Directorate-General for Agriculture, Commission of the European Commission, Brussels, Belgium.

“Angela's tact, diplomacy skills and courtesy have kept long negotiations on track and have helped to smooth out the cultural differences between East and West, North and South. She has become an extremely valuable asset to our company.” - Sultan Dr. Vicwood K.T. Chong, MBE, JP, Chairman and Managing Director, Vicwood Group, Hong Kong.

“Angela is motivated and honest, has good social interaction with all staff and is an asset to the department. Angela's professional knowledge as a translator is an asset. She has been a great team player.” - Paul Hughes, Chief Purser, M/S Splendour of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International, Galveston, Texas, U.S.A.

“Angela has performed very well in the position of International Ambassador. She exceeds expectations in all areas. Angela consistently demonstrates a positive proactive attitude. She is always helpful and willing to pitch in where needed. She is well liked by her colleagues and management. She is an asset to RCI and any team she joins.” - Doug MacLennan, Chief Purser, Serenade of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International, Puerto Rico, U.S.A.

“Angela can be relied upon to be accurate, honest and smart. She brings a global perspective to her work and a great talent for language. I recommend her editing skills. She edited my second book with great skill and humour. I ended up with a far better product at the end of the process and also learnt a great deal about grammar ... If you want your articles or books to move from mediocre to smooth, streamlined, beautiful reading, get Angela to edit your work. She brings a salty sense of humour but also a very high standard of grammar, punctuation and general knowledge. She will make your writing sing. Angela is my secret!” - Jacoline Loewen, Writer, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
