Michaela is really amazing at what she does! I have worked with her multiple times! She is easy to work with and always produces quality content. During the whole process she asked questions to make sure she really understood the scope of the project and provided continuous feedback. I would highly recommend working with Michaela if you have any writing needs.

This is the second project I have hired Michaela for. She is wonderful to work with - flexible, open to suggestions, takes the time to really understand the problem to be solved, and provides professional deliverables I can share with management. Hire Michaela if you want it done right!
