Colleagues describe them as "I am the Outreach Coordinator for a nonprofit domestic abuse program. We contracted with Elin to speak and facilitate a workshop for teens and adults in support of Teen Relationship Violence Awareness Month in February 2013. She was awesome! She kept the 40+ audience members engaged for over two hours. She shared her personal story of being a teen in an abusive relationship. The teens in the audience were so interested and kept asking questions. Elin got everyone involved with interactive group activities. The post event evaluations showed that every attendee increased their knowledge of teen dating abuse and they found the workshop very informative. Several attendees commented that they would have liked more time. I would highly recommend Elin for any school or program planning an event around teen dating abuse. We were honored to have hosted her." and "Elin has two power house strong suits that make her a great manager and a top notch educator. She cares about people in general but really cares about their ability to grow personally and professionally. In any industry, this is an amazing talent and a must have if you are looking to grow your company and your team members. Strong skill sets and fantastic rapport with people made her very successful at John Laing Homes and she would be a fantastic addition to any team."
