"She was amazing. Listened to our cry for the need for copywriting via voice recording and did amazing. She truly understood the essence of our mission. Regardless of the many times it changed. She was patient and brought great ideas to the table. Much more than just a copywriter indeed. We are sad to see her go but we understand she needs more stability financially. We highly recommend her and her journalism and writing capabilities."
