“Melanie has been working with me for over a year and she has done an outstanding job!  I initially hired Melanie to help me redesign my website.  She came up with a comprehensive communications strategy, worked with me and the website team to come up with creative ideas and images, plan the layout and write copy for my current website, Kenvinfinancialservices.com.  Since that time I have asked Melanie to help with a variety of other marketing related services and she is always willing to help.  She is flexible, takes initiative with communications, and works to agreed upon deadlines. She is currently booking speaking engagements for me.”

“I am pleased to write this recommendation on behalf of Melanie Yonks. Melanie worked for GTE Directories for approximately 6 ½ years, specifically in our internal communications department.  My personal association with her was in conjunction with her production of our monthly business television broadcast.  She was responsible for not only the content of the broadcast, but the technical production as well.  I found Melanie executed her duties in a professional and competent manner.  She was willing to do whatever it may take to make the Broadcast successful.  She was extremely conscientious and committed to her responsibilities.”

“Melanie has been the producer on many of our broadcasts and has done an outstanding job.  She is well organized, conscientious and conducts her business in a very professional manner.  Her skills run the gamut from attention to detail ---thourough preparation --- creativity --- and the ability to stay calm and react smoothly during any “on the air” surprises.  It was intersting to note that when Melanie was our producer, there were rarely any surprises.”
