References from a few of my clients:
Jenni Lukac, es de esas profesionales de la traducción y la interpretación que quitan el aliento al leerlas y escucharlas, simplemente, por una virtud poco frecuente, que va más allá de una depurada técnica; su superdotada capacidad no de buscar los más apropiados términos, sino de encontrar y radiografiar al milímetro a la persona que escribe o habla. Samuel Martín-Barbero, Ph.D. Associate Dean & Secretary General of Boards, IE Business School, Madrid
Working with Jenni is a pleasure. She is a complete professional, a perfectionist, and a lovely person. I’m looking forward to maintaining a long-term professional collaboration with her.
