Bio
Megan Connolly
Pamela has been a great help to UM's New Business team on repeated occasions. Her speedy work and keen attention to detail make her a solid choice for proofreading needs. Time and time again, she continued to meet our tight assignment deadlines and ensured that only our very best work went to press.

Pamela Fehl is an extraordinary person with amazing, positive energy. We worked together on many projects during my years serving as an active member and officer of the NYC Chapter of the Graphic Artists Guild. She is a superb multi-tasker, and never, ever loses her cool no matter what is happening. She has the knowledge and ability to work in a non-profit environment and accomplish great things in little time and never-enough budget. She is a great prioritizer, well-skilled in the art of organizational triage. Pam's job as Chapter Administrator called upon the constant exercise of both her superb people skills and her extraordinary organizational abilities. She is a natural mediator with an innate sense of how to handle a broad range of personalities in order to elicit the best possible results from the larger group. She wrote for and edited the monthly newsletters, and always managed to get other contributors to deliver their contributions on time (no small feat when you are working with a large group of self-employed artists!). She directed the management of the Job Board, which was an important resource for members and a profit center for the NYC chapter. Any person or organization hiring Pam for a project or for a full-time job will get far more for their investment in her than they could ever imagine.

Ms. Fehl has consistently taken great care in delivering high quality work both on time and on budget. There are not many people you can simply hand off a project to and know it's covered. Pamela is one of those few.
