Ximena says:

Em is the type of client that every PR person dreams of. On top of that, she stays positive through sticky situations and always looks for solutions instead of creating more problems. I loved working with Em!” -Ximena N. Larkin, Owner of C1 Revolution

David says:

Em is one of the ‘can do’ folks that everyone loves to have on their team. She managed both our communications and IT areas in an excellent fashion – and accomplished many tasks and projects that had been hanging fire around here for way too long.” -David McConnell, Financial Executive

tu-anh says:

She’s a passionate, dedicated, reliable, and customer-focused professional in all that she does. Also, she works and moves with velocity so you are not left there wondering when something is going to be done!” -tu-anh Love Nguyen, Owner of tu-anh Boutique

Jason says:

Em has a seemingly endless reserve of “can-do,” “yes and…,” and whatever else you want to call her unrelenting drive to try new things. She is a strong and dynamic leader—as a supervisor, as a peer, and as someone who knows how to effectively manage her manager.” -Jason Friedman, Chief Growth Officer at One Hope United

Pauline says:

Em was the best boss I could have asked for during my first marketing internship. Em’s brainstorms surprised me every time and were on point from the inception of her idea. She truly thinks out of the box and has a knack for witty copy.” -Pauline Critch-Gilfillin, Digital Content Specialist – Creative at Mosaic

Mark says:

Em is a master of online engagement. She is able to think strategically while engaging tactically. These are critical skills for any organization in today’s online world, but to find them in one person is exceedingly uncommon. Em is that rare example!” -Mark Phillips, Strategic Communicator and Air Force Vet
