Bio
Mimi Quinn
It was my pleasure to work closely with Allison as part of the marketing team at Abbott, and I have complete confidence in recommending her talents to others! As a content strategist, Allison understands how to create engaging, substantive content that aligns with strategic imperatives and supports the overall brand experience. Her plans consistently reflected her focus on achieving a measurable business impact, but just as importantly, on creating a real, human connection with end users. I always had confidence that Allison's work would be on-strategy, on-brand, compliant with all relevant regulations, and of exceptional quality. As a project lead, she set realistic timelines, monitored budgets closely, and effectively communicated with all stakeholders in order to meet, or most often, exceed expectations. She successfully managed complex projects that spanned global geographies and required orchestrating the efforts of multiple cross-functional teams as well as external agencies. And she wasn't afraid to respectfully challenge the status quo whenever she saw an opportunity to improve processes or the performance of marketing efforts. And finally, as a colleague, Allison is a joy to be around! She is an active listener, an open collaborator, has a great sense of humor, and contributes to an overall culture of openness and collaboration. She would be a remarkable asset for any team!

I highly recommend Allison. She is an ultimate professional. She brings calm and order to even the most unwieldy projects. Allison is a reliable team player and has a can-do attitude that conveys confidence and trust.
