"Jessica is knowledgeable, resourceful, and dedicated.
She is familiar with all the pitfalls and difficulties a newcomer to Berlin might face, and can resolve even the most daunting with level-headed ease. I could not have managed the logistical and administrative intricacies of an international move without her invaluable support."
Lola Barbier, Software Engineer, Doctolib GmbH
"Jessica helped me and my partner settle in fast by smoothly guiding us through German bureaucracy regarding residency and working permit and registration, as well as providing crucial orientation for everyday life in Berlin. Jessica is professional, fast, and always reassuring - our needs were understood and taken care of. We would always work with her again for all future relocations!"
