"We engaged Natalie to review our draft proposal when we were bidding for a research award. Natalie lent her expertise to our proposal, reviewing it as a whole and paying particular attention to the research methodology and design in accordance with our wishes. We found her input immensely helpful and she completed the work within the very short timescale we requested. We would be very happy to recommend Natalie and the grant application was successful following her input."
