“I have had the great pleasure to work with Liz for more than four years on everything from re-branding to media strategy for a prominent local nonprofit, and I cannot say enough about the creativity, enthusiasm and expertise that she brought to each and every project. Beyond her obvious talent as a marketing professional she is the most diplomatic and graceful person with whom I have ever done business. It is quite rare to find top-notch technical, organizational and interpersonal skills encapsulated by one individual. For Liz, all of these come naturally: She is a compassionate and careful listener, and quickly gains a deep understanding of what is needed to reach desired goals, demonstrating a keen sense of awareness and tact, as well as attention to detail, that you do not always easily find in the fast-paced field of communications. Liz is a true professional and a wonderful gift to the Pittsburgh nonprofit community. ”
