“SUPERLATIVE. Even before Alysha was hired for the job, she took the time to closely read over and edit the press release I was asking her to simply distribute. In addition to edits, she offered insightful suggestions to help ensure the release was picked up by news outlets. Alysha demonstrated a level of professionalism and excellence that is rare. Once hired for the job, her diligence, attention to detail, and superb communication continued. The extensiveness of her experience and passion for her work is clear. And RESULTS responses from media outlets followed immediately. I took pause before pressing ‘end contract’ because although her work was complete — above and beyond! — I did not want to end working with Alysha. I am already looking forward to hiring her again.
