Roxanna was a prolific writer and content producer in our organization for seven years. She had my back as a writer; I can count on her to catch the awkward phrase or the misplaced modifier. Her excitement about digging into a new research and analysis project never wanes. She has that rare ability to transform a dry topic into a compelling story, with supporting analysis that makes the copy sing. A polished professional with the ability to coax the perfect quote from national experts.
Sandy Mau, Health2 Resources
Working with Roxanna has been a pleasure. She not only knows her industries, but is willing to dig deeper to turn statistics and facts into trends in which readers will find real value in the storytelling. She is collaborative, honors her word on delivery and follows up on projects to make sure you have what you need. She's simply a professional.
