Testimonials
Here’s what others have to say ….
“Valerie and I worked together as managing editors at a high-volume content marketing agency that produced the full funnel of assets for large networks of hospitals and clinics nationwide. We managed as many as 10 clients at a time and were responsible for workflow management, editing, and delivery in a rather intricate quality review process. We both received extensive training in producing content for SEO blogs, drip emails, social media, PPC search campaigns, and print assets from postcards to magazines. We were expected to seamlessly switch from AP to Chicago style as well as follow idiosyncratic client stylesheets. Based on my own experience at the agency, I can attest that Valerie's skills would exceed the expectations of most marketing agencies either as a writer, editor, or both. She was always upbeat and approachable. I hope you will have the privilege of hiring Valerie and seeing how she will quickly expand your organization's capabilities.” — Mark Gillespie, Director of Content, Forbes Books
"I highly recommend Valerie if you need a professional, well-versed, and courteous writer who can take on challenging assignments requiring research and needed for tight deadlines. With little direction, Valerie was able to transform dry subject matter into a series of excellent and unique content articles that improved search results and online conversions. She always completed the assignments ahead of schedule and was a pleasure to work with." — Greg Bowe, Content Strategist
"Valerie, as someone with 50+ years involved in the med management process, I would like to congratulate you on your well written, comprehensive article in HPN. Keep up the good work." — Rayburn (Ray) Vrabel, PharmD
"The tree sale was the best ever in the 20+ year history of the club. Sales volume and income were about 40% higher than the previous "best". Many of the customers attending the event referred to different aspects of the article you wrote. Feedback from the 12 vendors in attendance was positive as well. The article gave the average gardener a dose of confidence that they too could successfully grow edible tropical fruits in their yards. It also stimulated interest in the unusual, as witnessed by the fact that the Sanbokan lemon tree was a sellout for our vendor who was also featured in your article. Thanks again Valerie, you were a key ingredient in the success of our organization's event." — Mike Seegert, Board Member, Tropical Fruit and Nut Society
"I just want to thank you for the wonderful articles you wrote. The response from the patients has been overwhelming. So much so that we are having lecture series for patients to try and disseminate more information. I truly believe that these articles will save a lot of lives by getting people to be more proactive with their heart health. Thanks again." — M. Zubair Jafar, MD, FACC, Director, Interventional Cardiology & Cardiac Research, Cardiac Cath Lab, Hudson Valley Heart Center
"Valerie is a thoughtful and expressive writer and detail-oriented editor who approaches every project with a commitment to quality and integrity. She's passionate about her work and excels at getting to the bottom of a story — to the message that audiences need to hear. I believe she accomplishes this through a rare ability to engage people and translate complex concepts into relatable content. Whether a colleague or a client, Valerie is a pleasure to work with, exhibiting traits that can be so rare to find these days: reliability, an inquisitive nature, a commitment to excellence, and warm professionalism. I highly recommend working with her for any of your content needs." — Lisa Marie DeSanto, Marketing Content & Communications Consultant
"Val reads a great deal and is infused with an understanding and respect for many cultures, religions and view-points. A comprehensive and thorough researcher, her open-mindedness and uncanny ability to find interesting stories when at first look it seems there might be little there, is something her editors have always appreciated. She comes back with stories that are genuinely interesting, often uncovering not only the meat of their tales, but also what makes them tick." — Amy Ruth Levine, Editor
"We can’t begin to thank you for the beautiful article (and amazing photos) about our new “baby”, Weiss Pediatric Care. You truly captured the vision and the spirit of our work. As you can imagine, we’re getting wonderful feedback (and a few new patients too!). We’re having the article mounted so we can display it in our waiting room for our patients to see when they are here for visits. What a wonderful introduction to our practice for our patients; what a wonderful keepsake for us. " — Diane Weiss, M.S., Parenting & Development Specialist
