I have had the great pleasure of collaborating with Marie-Louise Bauer in connection with SDU's film festival, Guldægget. Marie-Louise was the project manager for over 50 volunteers and was responsible for the entire planning of the festival, ensuring that Guldægget became the success it was. I observed how she learned incredibly much from her role as project manager and handled the challenges that came with it with her head held high. Marie-Louise is the person I am missing in my office. A person who has things under control, puts things into system and perspective, and ensures that tasks are completed at the right time. One can confidently entrust tasks to her, knowing that they will be solved in one way or another. Marie-Louise is well-educated, which is evident when discussing how tasks should be solved, and it is nice to have someone who knows what they are talking about and dives into tasks independently. Additionally, Marie-Louise is a pleasant person, and I can highly recommend her for any production.

Marie-Louise is both very helpful and responsible, and she has often taken the initiative to put in that little extra effort, ensuring an even better final product. She has a practical and solution- oriented approach to tasks and is both resourceful and creative. Marie-Louise is always eager for new challenges. It is this curiosity, creativity, and professional understanding that have allowed her to quickly grasp and familiarize herself with new media and programs. Marie-Louise is very skilled at maintaining an overview, even in complex problem-solving. Her straightforward and positive approach to tasks and to other people has made her immensely liked by everyone here at the office. If you are lucky enough to have Marie-Louise on your team, you will have an employee and colleague who is both highly goal-oriented and efficient in her task-solving while also being incredibly pleasant and skilled at collaborating with everyone. I can only give Marie-Louise my highest recommendations for the future.
