"Megan is reliable, consistent, and she produces high-quality work. There were many occasions

where I asked Megan to complete projects and she did a killer job every time with little

guidance. Megan is an excellent team member and (thankfully) she isn’t afraid to speak up to

voice her opinion. I would absolutely recommend Megan for any position - and I would enjoy

working with her again if the opportunity ever came up."

B.J. Schone, Director of Content, managed Megan at I DRIVE SAFELY

"I had the pleasure of managing Megan for a year. She is incredibly bright, energetic, and most

importantly, a fantastic problem-solver. She is always in the solution, and comes up with many

alternatives to roadblocks. Megan is also a swift and accurate online editor with excellent writing

skills. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an industrious, diligent, and

delightful employee."
