Bio
Pamela Caltabiano
Alex is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. It has been a pleasure to have her as part of the Content Team at Vacation Express, and if it weren't for the current challenges requiring downsizing in the travel industry, I have no doubt that she would have grown into new roles thanks to her talent, positive attitude and exceptional work ethic. When I say that Alex is talented, it is no exaggeration. She is highly skilled at copyediting, video editing, very proficient at audio editing and great at campaign building, all in addition to her obvious talent as a writer. In the seven months that we worked together, I knew that I could toss random projects her way and she would always tackle them wholeheartedly. She stayed late to help me fix the audio on an old video for our company's presidential retreat, which was just one example of her work ethic and tenacity as she delved deeper into the audio editing world so she could learn to fix the problem - and fix it she did! In fact, even the president of our company trusted her work so much that he reached out to her several times for assistance in creating videos for him to share with industry partners. Alex is such a quick study that no form of writing seems to stump her. She has written beautiful, descriptive articles on our destinations, inspiring posts for social media and snappy radio commercial scripts. She also recently took on leading an internal social media project with our Content Marketing Coordinator where she was able to channel her writing, video skills and creativity into a new form of content creation. Like I said, I could send anything her way and know that she was going to make it her own and produce something wonderful. I think that I have already illustrated that Alex has an exceptional work ethic, but I want to reiterate this point. Alex frequently came in early and stayed late. She accepts feedback gracefully and applies it to grow professionally. She is inquisitive and proactive, always looking for an opportunity to learn more to enhance her work. More people should be like Alex. Finally, if you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Alex, I want you to know that once you do, her smile, easygoing personality and hearty chuckles will reassure you that this is not only a person you want on your team, but also a person that you want in your life. I can only hope to be able to work with Alex again!
