"Although Renee worked for me less than a year, she truly made a difference in my life...She struck the balance between executing the groundwork and involving me. Without Renee I was making things work, but with her services I gained more time to focus on my creative writing students and my social life...I will undoubtedly use this service again...If you need help to do the same, do not hesitate to contact Renee."
