Bio
People who say that multitasking doesn’t work clearly have not met Angela. She is prolific in handling multiple projects at once, saving our team hours, if not days, in project management. As a copywriter, Angela shines in several disciplines (from writing press releases to case studies). She is at her happiest when writing long-form articles, but you can bank on her excellent research and copywriting skills for any project.
Angela is a strong writer who was always willing to take on new responsibilities with minimal guidance or direction. I could count on her to complete any project on time with no detail missed. I enjoyed working with her and would recommend her for any team.
