"I have worked with Michelle in two companies. Both times Michelle performed as a right hand person that could be relied upon to execute in the toughest of situations with dependable results. Michelle's enthusiasm, her ability to be a quick study, her tenacity for good end results, and her team-oriented demeanor resulted in owning responsibility for the success of projects. Having used Michelle on a variety of projects spanning budget control, MARCOM responsibility, driving a high profile PR company, developing case studies for sales references, and generally being a positive influence with others in the marketing team and beyond, Michelle is a strong asset. I would easily hire Michelle again and regularly keep in touch with her."

"If ever I could say more about the professionalism that Michelle proffered during our tenure, it would fill a terabit-tome. From the moment we began working together on special marketing events in which I was the 'headliner' for the client; I knew she was something special. I have told her that no matter what company is fortunate enough to 'land her', that I definitely want to work with her again. When work is a pleasure, it is due to those exceptional individuals like Michelle."
