She explored and shared her insights in a kind and compassionate manner, which empowered me to trust her and see how we could make the writing better. She was tireless in her efforts and research. She found access to information I didn't know about, which made my writing not only cleaner but clearer as well. Her sense of humor and understanding was a joy to work with.”
