2019 NQ to CMS
"Gemma did a great job... she is knowledgeable, highly professional and a pleasure to deal with - not qualities I'd necessarily associate with all in her profession! But I think there are two things that really set Gemma apart from the rest - the care she takes to help prep you for interviews, which is invaluable, and the fact she really listens."
