Bio
Linda O'Halloran
Anna is a wonderful person to work with, from her attitude, to her aptitude and commitment. She did excellent work for the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) Local Digital Programme, leading on content strategy and management of the programme's website. From website launch to day-to-day management she was extremely reliable, flexible and responsive. She was up to speed very quickly after being brought on and was very involved in writing material and keeping the site current. Her knowledge and understanding of websites and what is happening in the background made her an invaluable resource and she was able to translate our needs into specifications for the developers. In addition, following completion of the project and wrap up of the programme, she remained available for answering questions and giving input. I would not hesitate to recommend her for digital and communications-related work and projects.

Anna is a strong communicator, and always gets her point across simply. She was a great asset to the project we worked on together, providing detailed and thorough testing throughout the project as well as simple but detailed explanations of the internal processes for the development team.
