Bio
Ken Shapiro
I've had the opportunity to work with Laurie Baratti for many years -- both in the office and as a freelancer -- and I can strongly recommend her for a wide variety of editing and writing positions. Laurie is great at taking direction on an assignment. She can work independently or as part of a team. She is dependable and honest, and always meets her deadlines without compromising on quality. She can be responsible for all types of assignments without requiring additional guidance. Laurie also has a great personality and is a pleasure to be around. She is reliable and trustworthy, and a team player. I think any organization would be fortunate to have her. Sincerely, Kenneth Shapiro Editor-in-Chief TravelAge West
