Bio
Ashley Hernandez
Hannah was a colleague I worked very closely with and reported to. She is upbeat and very fun to work with. I learned so much from her. She was great at giving me constructive criticism. Whenever I submitted a project, she would take the time to write detailed feedback notes. Whenever I needed help on a project, she would drop what she was doing to help me out. It’s refreshing to be able to work with such an intelligent woman that is willing to help you be great at your job. My time at Wiley would not have been the same without Hannah! I know she’ll continue to do great things at Wiley. She works hard and it shows in her work. Her kindness and valuable advice won’t be forgotten. In the words of Hannah,

I worked with Hannah during my 4-month contract position at Wiley. We both assist the same editors on the education team, therefore I had frequent contact with Hannah on different projects and assignments. As a new hire, I sincerely appreciated Hannah’s willingness to help train me and support my learning. She has a very approachable and friendly personality, which contributed positively to the office environment. In addition, Hannah has strong editorial, project management, and author relationship skills. She often goes above and beyond what is required for a task, going the extra mile to make our authors happy. I enjoyed working with her and found her to be a vital part of the team.
