Bio
Brenda Basenese
Linda and I worked together at The Morning Call for several years. She always strived to drive content that’s interesting and factual while keeping the customer and our own representation professional. Her love of writing, photography and creativity was expressed in every issue of Inspire Health and Indulge magazines, not to mention the countless advertorials. Linda's professionalism never altered due to the size of a client. Linda is truly a team player and would be a great asset to any company. p.s. she even manages the employee lottery pool.

I worked closely with Linda when we were at WalletPop, AOL's former consumer finance site, where Linda covered recalls, scams, frauds and other consumer news for our Consumer Ally team. In our fast-paced environment, I was always impressed with the quality and quantity of the posts Linda could produce. She was one of the most professional, reliable, and prolific writers I worked with, and she produced well-written, well-researched copy that barely needed my editor's touch. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
