Bio
Sharon Crouch
Darla is very talented and detail orientated. She brings out the best in everyone around her.
Gary Sallee
It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Darla as an extraordinary professional of the the highest level, and as a superior human being who cares deeply about her family, her friends, her community and strangers in need of a boost in life. I first met Darla in the realm of the entertainment industry where she worked tirelessly for the entertainer-clients she promoted and marketed, and for whom she provided media relations. She was much better at promoting them than were most of them at performing. Darla's greatest attribute is her compassion for other people. I greatly admire that she has given so much of her life, and her self, to saving and supporting lives of others. There is is no one whose heart is bigger, who loves greater, than Darla. I could provide specific instances where Darla has demonstrated exceptional skills in dealing with people, many of whom were difficult to help and/or in the midst of conflict, the charm and grace with which she delivers the messages of/for her clients, and her ability to make people love her, listen to her, hear what she says, and act on her message. Instead, I will say that I recommend her as one the the brightest, most, charming, extraordinary communicators I know. Darla is a hard worker, who stays focused on the task assigned, and who is most loyal to her employer and to her team.
