"I've known Sophie for over six years and seen her through her roles at Localiiz Hong Kong and Expatica (in the Netherlands). In each, Sophie has been fantastic about maintaining relationships with stakeholders and freelancers, and very encouraging and supportive to her juniors. She's also a conscientious editor who is meticulous about fact-checking, dedicated to fighting misinformation and plagiarism, and eagle-eyed for good grammar. She's delightful to work with."

"Sophie was managing editor and the person I was most in touch with when writing for Expatica. She’s the one who onboarded me when I started freelancing for the platform. Sophie is incredibly patient and quick with responding to questions, and she keeps freelancers well updated and engaged.
As a freelancer, I work with different people and organisations. Sophie stands out in how she’s professional yet personal in her approach. Her genuine interest, accessibility and flexibility made it a pleasure to freelance for her. She was one of the reasons I took up repeated commissions with Expatica, and I would work with her again in a jiffy if she came to me with a new assignment!"
