Bio
Melissa Turner
April is a super-smart, committed, focused editor and writer with the ability to balance many competing tasks with ease. She makes time to help her colleagues even when she does not have time to spare, while keeping many, many balls in the air as she shepherds her own projects to completion – never late, and usually well ahead of schedule. She takes a proactive approach to internal and external relationships, and her willingness to take on new challenges has almost single-handedly enabled substantial growth for our team over the past year. Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do without her.
