"Having Michelle edit Standardized Patient cases with me has been a total game changer. She has picked up on inconsistencies in the patient's story that had long been missed. She keeps the users (standardized patients) in mind during editing which has played a vital role in improving the flow and organization of each case."

"The best analogy I can think of to describe Michelle's role during our time working together is as a 'story artisan'. As needed, she accompanied our colleagues to help them chisel and carve a "block of wood" and turn it into a piece of art. The words were theirs; Michelle simply coached them so their stories could be clear and engaging while highlighting the work of the global partner with which they were serving."

"Michelle has done both content and copy editing work for me for several years. She helped to organize pieces of writing for me in ways I could not do. She knew better wording as well as how to make my messages more effective. I am extremely grateful for all that she has done for me over the years."
