I take great pride in the many successful and productive relationships I've created over my career. Some of the people I hold in the highest respect are former teammates, supervisors, and writers I've managed and mentored. Nothing gives me a greater sense of accomplishment than hearing a good friend say "Debbie was the best boss I've ever had."

Debbie is a fabulous creative writer who can always be trusted to go above and beyond, show great attention to detail, ensure the accuracy of what she's editing, and turn even the messiest prose and marketing copy into something worth reading. She does an incredible job of balancing quality work with meeting tight deadlines to come up with great results. She sees things in the copy that a mere writer may never notice! I don't think I've ever worked with anyone more committed to doing a great job. Plus, her sense of humor helps make the workday a pleasure. I have and will continue to recommend Debbie as one of the best creative writers I know, who will add tangible value to any project she takes on.

Debbie's path has crossed mine twice, most recently at Eddie Bauer where I worked as a contractor/copywriter, and prior to that, as writers and colleagues for Nordstrom advertising. Debbie is a talented retail/advertising writer with good ideas and a commitment to understanding and serving the client with clear, effective messaging. On the personal side, she's spunky, fun, forthright and makes a fine addition to a creative team.

Debbie was a wonderful mentor to me when she managed our department at Nordstrom. She was everything an employee wants in a leader: fair, organized, fun, and efficient. Her guidance helped me develop into a better writer and a more effective communicator. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!

I've had the opportunity to work with Debbie (and continue to work with her) and find her very astute and quick to grasp what I need to say and convert it all in few words to great copy.
WIll I work with her again? Each and every time I get a chance.
