Bio
Robert Agnew, MPA
I had the pleasure of working with Mindy at the Yukon Progress, Piedmont-Surrey Gazette, and Okarche Warrior (the papers). Mindy is a top-notch journalist and possesses an array of skills and abilities. Mindy is most definitely an excellent writer. Her ability to investigate news stories is outstanding. She always reported objectively and had an ability to tell the story in a way that would engage her audience. When Mindy joined our team at the papers, our ability to provide an elevated product for our readers and advertisers increased drastically. You could count on Mindy to be the reporter who was able to get the scoop on numerous issues within Canadian County. Although many people weren’t
Tim Burg, CEcD
In 40 plus years of being in the business world it is rare to find someone with Mindy's experience and passion for her profession. Her demeanor, professionalism, creativity and ability to use just the right words make her a great writer and individual to work with. Not only is she well versed in writing and use of the English language, she has the ability to put her subjects at ease, while uncovering critical details regarding the subject matter. We have used her time after time to help us convey our message, with her work being on task, precise, with an ease of ability to edit and comment. She acted as if she was a partner with us and provided her own unique insight into our organization. We would highly recommend her services to anyone and are certain we will use her talents again. She is simply put "The Best".
