I absolutely love working with Gretchen. My company offers on-demand, Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services via mobile and/or web app, delivered by live human interpreters in specialized fields such as medicine. Gretchen has taken the time to understand our business, our goals and direction. She listens and asks questions to then clearly lay out all options, pros and cons, as well as recommended path. She’s conscientious about costs – a major concern for a start-up – and is diligent about delivering on time and on budget. It is so good to have someone on “our team” that I can confidently rely on to help carry the load. Without reservation or hesitation, I highly recommend Gretchen to anyone!
