I have worked with Wendy on a wide range of projects. At all times she brings infectious enthusiasm, thorough project planning and an unwavering conviction to do what's right. When you work with Wendy you get her full focus as she challenges her team to create great solutions. Wendy has always encouraged me to stretch my skills and creativity and I'm always pleased to be working with her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Wendy for over 5 years on many projects. She is organized, energetic, talented and an expert in business communications. Wendy knows what it takes to get a business’s message and brand out there. She implements complete programs that are effective and sees positive results for her clients. In addition to her business skills and acumen, she is personable and communicative. It is a pleasure working with Wendy and I strongly recommend her.
