testimonials

“I had the privilege of working with Shalene for several years before her sabbatical to start a family. During her tenure, she demonstrated a very rare combination of characteristics that make her a powerful force in our media industry. Allow me to explain: First, I found her to be a highly skilled writer, possessing precision with facts and a strong sense of the market she was addressing. As a writer and editor, she not only believed in deadlines, she met them. And the progress of each task, story or issue was always transparent. Shalene loves to write, and it shows in her results. But the added and unique benefit that comes with Shalene is her delightful and engaging style of personal communication. This I have not found in many writers of her caliber. It equipped her with a combination of skills that gave me great confidence that she would not only deliver back the written words with excellence, but also represent our cause with extreme professionalism. Shalene is a rare talent indeed.”
