I have known Ms Jolanta Kulinska in a professional and personal capacity for over six years. In my professional capacity as an officer of Armagh City and District Council I worked closely with Jolanta on a number of community development and community relations projects. Jolanta displayed excellent managerial skills, exhibiting a high degree of competence in both project and people management.
Since 2004, Jolanta has acted as a useful conduit to the Polish community locally and further afield. Her interpretative and inter-personal skills are very highly developed. Recently, I have worked with Jolanta on setting up a new social enterprise in Armagh where her talents as an adviser and member of the management committee have been invaluable to the early success of the company.
Of all Jolanta’s skills which I have witnessed over the years, probably the most useful asset has been her translation skills from Polish to English and English to Polish. Her professional standard of work has greatly enhanced the services that we have been offering in Armagh since we have had her on board.

Dear Jolanta,
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you hugely for the immense work you put into the Migrant Workers' Action Research Project. It really would have been impossible without all the effort and hard work you put into what is very much your project too.
Best wishes and take care
