“Jennifer is one of my favorite people to work with. She brings strong competency and tremendous caring to everything she touches. She is articulate, calm, authentic, and professionally mature. She has the toughness of someone who has worked for decades in Russia and the insight to know her weaknesses as well as her strengths. If you need someone experienced with community activism, Indigenous issues, Russian culture and politics, or conservation campaigns, Jennifer is the one.” Alex Levinson, Pacific Environment

“Jennifer is exemplary with regards to the breadth and depth of qualities she brings to her and our work. As a trusted consultant and colleague in a complex field that requires nuanced cross-cultural sensitivities and sensibilities, Jennifer shines. Her passion, intelligence, attention to detail, diligence, practicality, stability, and creativity are only some of the key success factors informing her work, whether it is programmatic, administrative, or translation-related. Jennifer is a gem with whom we feel very fortunate to work.” Alan Zulch, Tamalpais Trust

“Jennifer is uniquely qualified in her field of work and has extensive, firsthand experience working on environmental issues and for indigenous people rights in the Russian Far East. She has been invaluable as a colleague, advisor, and collaborator of Wild Salmon Center’s Russia Program. Jennifer’s translation work has always been of the highest quality and conducted in the most professional manner.” Mariusz Wroblewski, Wild Salmon Center

"The Sacred Land Film Project has relied on the excellent professional skills of Jennifer Castner over the last seven years as we produced our documentary "Standing on Sacred Ground," which features a story on the Altai Republic. Her abilities as transcriber, translator, interpreter, cultural intermediary, and consultant have been invaluable. We highly recommend her." Christopher McLeod, Sacred Land Film Project​
