Bio
Susan Wilkinson
Mimi would be a welcome addition to any newsroom, as she's one of the best writer-producers I've ever worked with during my time in the business. Her writing is as close to immaculate as a human is capable, keeping her copy tight and focused. She's also a problem solver and a nurturer to many up-and-coming writers, giving invaluable feedback that only serves to improve the writer. Any news organization would be lucky to have her.

During my time at CNN, I have known Mimi to be a talented, knowledgeable and highly respected member of the newsroom at CNN-International. She is considered the strength on any writing team - as a full-time employee or freelancer. Mimi is thorough, dependable and professional. She knows her material, checks her facts and has proven herself to be a real asset, whether handling Breaking News, the lead story in a newscast, business updates, news headlines or creative features. I consider her a valued peer and colleague, and I highly recommend her.
