“Amanda was an invaluable resource for MEND at a time when we needed her most! As the leader of a hunger relief organization, I was pulled in many directions throughout the pandemic, and relied on her regularly to research new funding sources, draft grant applications and reports, and, more generally, to create an Annual Report for our donors. She is a strategic thinker, and was able to quickly get up to speed and successfully recommend the best avenues to pursue for funding based on the goals we wanted to accomplish. Her writing skills were extremely impressive - her drafts read like finished products, and, at the same time, she was always open to feedback, and worked collaboratively to consistently produce persuasive and compelling communications. She’d be an asset to any organization, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Amanda brings her intellect, curiosity, analytical skills, and passion to every project we’ve worked on together. A brilliant writer, she finds the story amid the details and crafts clear, compelling language that honors the client’s voice. As an editor, she has a remarkable eye for detail and accurate, vibrant writing. She does all of this with good humor and a strong desire to help nonprofits achieve their goals and tell their stories.”
