Birgitte Bjerge Poulsen has solved the tasks with great independence.
Furthermore, we can add to this, that she has great analytical skills and
structures her tasks in such a way that she remains the necessary
overview of her deadlines. She has great skills within prioritizing, and
rarely gets lost within unnecessary details. Birgitte Bjerge Poulsen is
quick at learning and absorbing new knowledge, she is a very sociable
and modest person, who downplays her own competences.
She has a great capacity to develop networks based on her capability of
collaboration, and she has been a very popular employee at the
Embassy and among colleagues in the diplomatic scene.
In general the tasks have been satisfactorily fulfilled, and the Embassy
can warmly recommend Birgitte Bjerge Poulsen.
