Testimonials

Endorsements from past clients

"Virginia is a wonderful worker with an entrepreneurial, can-do attitude. Over and over again during the last six months or more, she has demonstrated her ability to synthesize complex, scientific and business information into coherent, compelling narratives. Her narratives have served as the base for several long-form articles in a global business publication related to the climate tech venture capital. Virginia has engaged with complex, arcane, and completely novel technologies and business models and has done a wonderful job of explaining them in terms that are comprehensible and resonant to a layperson. I value Virginia's attitude, work ethic, and abilities and am glad to be working with her."
