Deborah is an asset to any organization or executive willing to do the work necessary to move from good to great!", and "Deborah is an outstanding leader, consultant, and mentor who I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with first in Newark and since in her roles at the Ms. Foundation and as a consultant. I couldn't agree more with what has already been said about her work in previous roles. Speaking to her as a consultant, Deb brings an authenticity and commitment that isn't always common in the world of consultancy. She has provided Edutelligentsia with strategic, timely, and insightful support on communications and strategy and truly helped me think through what our value-proposition is for our partners and the broader communities in which we are working. Deb has a number of passions--police practices reform, women's equality, sexual violence and abuse prevention, to name a few--but she is an asset in a number of fields and issues because of her depth and breadth of experience and her willingness to learn from everyone she meets. She would be an asset to any organization or effort."
