Bio
Madi King Erger
I am grateful to have found a hardworking, flexible, and industry knowledgeable individual like Mona to collaborate with. Mona and I met working together on extra-curricular activities at the university that we attended. I knew she would be a great person to call if I ever needed a photographer or an extra creative eye for a marketing task. I requested that she spearhead a professional photo shoot for my colleague and I opening our own Digital Marketing, of course knowing we had to wow people with our own brand. Exceptional service and delivery is an understatement. Mona kindly asserted her knowledge of photography by helping find good spaces for lighting, shot us at the perfect angles, and helped curate our looks. Working with us for 2-3 hours, we were able to change outfits three times and shoot at several different locations. After the shoot, Mona took initiative by giving us a structured time frame on when the photos would be completed after editing and always kept open communication. Thanks to Mona, my colleague and I have a complete portfolio of quality photos for our website and social media. Mona would be an outstanding addition to any team requiring a photographer or marketing specialist. These words come with my most sincere recommendation, Mona is the greatest!

Mona worked is a graduate assistant in UMSL's Marketing and Communications office and greatly enhanced our efforts on social media with her creativity and photography skills. She's personable, hard-working and demonstrated an ability to work independently and get things done without requiring much supervision. She was also detail-oriented and helped us better organize our digital photo archives. We were sorry to see her leave for another position on campus. I think she's someone with a bright future who will find success in whatever she tries to do and will be an asset in any organization she works.
