Reviews
Kellie, Portland Public Schools
“I wanted to send a quick note to compliment your amazing interpreters. Specially I am writing about Nana Pavelly- she is just wonderful! She feels like part of the team when interpreting in our meetings and does a very nice job of clarifying her understanding before interpreting for parents. She is amazing and we are so fortunate to be working with her through our CDS meetings at PPS Prek. Thank you!”
Kate, Green Evans-Schroeder, PLLC
“Nana is SO great! Professional, well-trained, accurate, clear, and also connected on a personal level really well with our client and with me. Our asylum declaration appointment went really well. Thank you for connecting us with her. I’ll be in touch in the next couple of weeks to schedule a follow-up, but I wanted Nana to have my glowing feedback before then.”
Rachelle, Pine Tree Legal Advocacy
“Thank you for your amazing work as always. It all worked out beautifully, and Nana is worth waiting for! Please tell her we appreciate her very much. Many of my clients are much more engaged when she is working with us. She is warm, intelligent and makes good connections with the families. Not to mention she does an excellent job conveying difficult concepts sometimes, which we and the clients appreciate. I’m glad everyone was patient today. Having my client enjoy Nana’s support was much better than me giving up and using the phone. (believe me, the ability to use the on demand service is amazing, but in this case, the parent really shuts down, so I was holding my breath for Nana.)”
Majlinda, House of Languages
“Thanks for being so proactive. I want to take this moment and thank you for the great work that you have been doing. You are very independent, reliable and very professional. I am happy to work with you.”
Suzy, Occupational Therapy
“As an aside, Nana is the BEST. She is dedicated to understanding the meaning of the often complicated conversations we have with our families. I truly enjoy working with her “
Emma, Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (CEI)
“Nana was wonderful, so patient, and so helpful last night during a group workshop when we had some technical difficulties with the interpreting channel. I so appreciated her kind face and she is such a wonderful person to have on your team!”
