Bio
Ramon Lo
As a communications professional, Sarah has been the most accessible, reliable and thorough that I have come across during my career with Airport Revenue News. We have developed a professional relationship to where she is able to anticipate the needs of my publication and assist me, as well as my writers, in meeting tight deadlines. Her quick grasp of the industry we both serve has enabled her to assist her firm (and thus my publication) in developing an appropriate narrative that makes for compelling and informative articles. Sarah is a tremendous asset.
Ann S. Cottrell
Sarah is a very hard working and creative PR expert. Our firm hired her to help us with all of our PR initiatives several years ago and we have been extremely pleased with the results. Sarah has provided expert advice as well as helping our firm's attorneys publish articles in many industry publications. Sarah is extremely conscientious and above all very reliable. I love to work with Sarah and HIGHLY recommend her. She is also very personable and friendly. I knew when I first met Sarah that we would work well together!
