"I had the pleasure of working with Lydia at Thomson Reuters. From the start, I was blown away by her strong attention to detail and articulate way of communicating diverse stories targeted at diverse demographics through advertising. She would always go above and beyond to make sure every detail of content was 100% before letting it launch. If you are looking for someone who knows their stuff about content marketing, I would highly recommend Lydia."

“I am (a) huge fan of Lydia’s, because she does what’s hard, not what’s easy…She’s naturally curious, dogged, assertive. Most of all, she has an intuitive sense of story…She lives and breathes journalism…You’d be smart to hire her and get in on the ground floor.”

“Lydia’s interest in journalism, reporting and copy editing was unparalleled for someone coming just out of high school…She’s become the standard by which we judge every other summer intern. Many times, our interns need consistent oversight. Lydia, though, needed none of that…She was reliable and trustworthy. Kind and fun. Serious when she had to be and smiling when she could be…I also have no doubt that you’ll be thrilled with her work.”

“Lydia is an impressive student…(she) is a self-starter, pays attention to detail and shows excellent leadership skills. I am impressed with the way she anticipates problems and handles them effectively herself or with little guidance. She is a high-energy student who excels in everything she tries. Her present work (Spring 2016) is stronger than many of the 3,000 students that I taught in J2150 over the past six years.”
