"We hired Hope A. to develop objectives and a narrative for a grant. She was excellent at organizing the mixed content we provided. Asked just enough to assure she understood what we needed and prepared promptly and within the budget. She was very profession, but also approachable. After her first work, we also her asked to prepare a budget for this work. Also successfully provided. We will hire again. "
