"Lily is a capable, and reliable translator. We have worked with Lily for a 3-hour English Portuguese translation. Lily is very responsive in confirming the availability, and she arrived at the meeting site 1 hour beforehand. She did a great job in translating, even on relatively specific, and technical topics such as agriculture and digitalization. We had a good experience working with Lily and she is highly recommended."
