Todd VanDuzer, Helping Scale Companies Profitably

Incredible person to work with! If you are looking for someone who gets stuff DONE when you need it, goes above and beyond to overdeliver, and pays careful attention to the detail you have found the perfect person to work with. She is hungry to learn, coachable, and a great person to work with. I highly recommend giving Athena I shot. I know I will be again. Keep up the hard work Athena.

Kim Garmon Hummel

If you are looking for well-researched blog copy that is both SEO friendly and interesting for people, I recommend working with Athena. She wrote several blog posts for us and we were very happy with the quality and timeliness of her work.
