— Testimonials

“Hannah is an amazing person to work with. We have been worked together on CityHood for 18 months and it went very well. The role was really open and she took a lot of initiatives - while I was on maternity leave, she developed the social media strategy and implemented it using a tool she selected.

 

I am impressed with Hannah's ability to understand what I am looking for. It is very easy to work with her and I know that every time I'll ask her for reviews or text, it was perfectly done and on-time. She is motivated, diligent and she always goes the extra mile. I would highly recommend Hannah, she is amazing to work with.”
