Priya is an absolute pleasure to work with--she is flexible, hard-working, and genuine. She'll take on the toughest deadlines and biggest jobs with a smile and energy that permeates the rest of the team. Her ability to adapt quickly, work well with team members, and her solid knowledge of science make Priya an asset to any workplace.
Roseann Kovelman
Priya is one of the most detailed and thorough writers I have ever worked with. She knew exactly what content the review committee would accept, what backup and references were needed, and how to prioritize jobs. Most importantly, our clients were always thrilled with the quality of work she produced. Her management skills, both with projects and people, are impeccable. She would be the first person I would call if I was ever in need of a writer and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.
