“Elizabeth is wonderful. Although she is an experienced professional, she is incredibly easy to talk to and I was always comfortable saying what I thought or asking a question. Because of her, my confidence in this work has increased, not just because of the knowledge she helped me gain, but because she cared about me as an individual.”
– Hesper Kohler, Development Assistant, Mangrove Action Project
