Bio
Nanette M. Schimpf, APR, CPRC
Rebecca is a highly organized communications professional who pays attention to details and works hard to create success. She is creative, bright and brings a new perspective to a project, no matter the scope. I enjoyed working with Rebecca and was impressed with how well she tracked projects, activities and deliverables. She was deadline oriented, always had a smile and inspired others to think outside the box. From graphic design to social media, Rebecca was quick to learn and took pride in everything she did on behalf of MCG and our clients. If she was not certain on direction or next steps, she did not hesitate to ask to ensure she had proper direction and a solid plan. Her ability to execute and deliver were strengths she exhibited daily. She is an asset to any organization, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

Rebecca was an excellent web content manager for our firm. She delivered timely and consistent results on a daily basis and was an excellent troubleshooter if we ran into a technical glitch. She quickly grasped the scope of work and exercised good judgement daily to achieve her tasks. It was great to have her on the team because we knew she was going to get the job done every day.
