Colleagues describe her as "Melissa consistently produced high-quality work while meeting her daily deadlines. As an editor, I enjoyed Melissa's enthusiasm for her work and attention to detail." and "I was introduced to Melissa in the Spring of 2002 when, as a business reporter for the Flint Journal, she contacted me to inquire about my recent appointment as Chairman and CEO of a local, publicly held company. As a business reporter she had good reason for such inquiries as the company was, by virtue of the actions of an eccentric majority stockholder, prone to "make news" (for better or worse) on a very frequent basis. Melissa was a tough and unrelenting interrogator in pursuit of the "news" but was fully able to keep the object of her inquiry (me) fully engaged throughout the process. Over the ensuing years, Melissa and I have had many reasons to interact from a business person / business reporter perspective and these sessions, while tough and penetrating, were conducted in a very professional manner. The resultant media reports were detailed, fair and an accurate accounting of my representations and for this I was most appreciative. Over time, I have developed a professional relationship with Melissa that I am sure has served our respective business interests well. On a personal level, I have been impressed with Melissa's ability to operate intelligently and elegantly in any situation in which she finds herself; consistency of demeanor and purpose is are character traits that will serve Melissa well as she "soldiers" through life. For my part, I am a richer person for having the opportunity to interact with Melissa over the years..."
