“Nicola is one of a kind. She is focused, efficient and highly competent in every task she undertakes and at the same time open, friendly and consultative with everyone she works with. She possesses a rare combination of creativity and practicality and is an absolute delight to be around. Without her dedication, enthusiasm and drive as Festival Manager and Artistic Director our Festival would not have become the success it is today”
— Gary Holzman, Festival Director, Shir Madness - Sydney Jewish Music Festival
“I want to say a massive thank you for all the hard work you did this year at Songlines. It was an absolute pleasure to have you on our team- you were proactive, thoughtful, highly communicative and a great support for the rest of your team at the venue. You really thought of everything there and made the whole space work for the patrons, artists, tech team and volunteers.”
— Mara Mackinney, Stage Management Coordinator, Woodford Folk Festival
“Working with Nicola is a joyful experience! I recently worked with her on an event for 3 weeks and it was always a pleasure to see her smiling face arrive. She has a friendly and cooperative demeanour and is always thinking ahead. Nothing is too much trouble for Nicola - she would be an asset on the team for any project.”
— Jonathan Granek, Production Manager, AV1
“Nicola Ossher, was employed as the Festival Co-ordinator at our recent 2013 Jazzgroove Summer Festival, our most successful ever. Nicola was personable, energetic, and reassuring throughout the planning of the Festival and its running. She consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, focus and plenty of patience too. Nicola’s efforts contributed significantly to the success of our Festival.”
— John Hibbard, President, Jazzgroove Association
“Nicola was able to develop our concept for the day into a well organised, smoothly run and highly enjoyable event for all involved. Her contacts, organisational skills and creativeness motivated our own members, as well as participants and supporters from the wider community to be involved in a variety of morning activities and preceding online fundraising.
As a result of Nicola’s initiatives the event helped promote our organisation’s work and profile and we received wide coverage in the Jewish and local media. More importantly as a result of this event NCJWA NSW was able to raise the most ever to forward to the very worthwhile cause of Breast Cancer Network Australia.
Nicola was a pleasure to work with and our organisation would have no hesitation in again using her services.”
