Colleagues describe her as "Can't say enough good things about Nancy - for eight and a half years, she was my right arm in the communications department at American National University. She's a conscientious professional who always makes sure the job is done right and done on time. She's as solid an all-round communications professional as you'll find anywhere. I'll repeat the advice given by a mutual friend and colleague, when I mentioned that I was interviewing her for an opening: HIRE HER. Whether the project is large or small, contract work or a career opportunity, if you have the chance, snap her up. You will not regret the decision. She has excellent written and oral communications skills, understands both traditional and social media outreach, is great with people, and has superb managerial abilities. She's well organized, punctual, and can juggle multiple responsibilities with ease. Let Nancy do it for you, whatever it is!" and "When I served as professional development committee chair in 2012 for the Blue Ridge Chapter of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), Nancy was the chapter president and encouraged me to take on an active role in the chapter as a new, young professional in the group. She guided the chapter to think outside-the-box and encouraged the group to take on a fresh perspective for chapter functions. She did a fantastic job of balancing the traditions of the chapter with new ideas and events. Nancy was a true pleasure to work with and always had a smile on her face. A very inspiring leader, Nancy really helped me grow as a PR professional and person."
