Testimonials

“Mandy is an excellent speaker. She varies her voice, pauses when appropriate and clearly enunciates during her presentations. I’ve seen her give several speeches and each one has been tremendous and dynamic. Even better than that though is her ability to lead a project. Mandy coached us on speech tips, from topic to opening, from gestures to closing. She wanted us to be our best and I went to her repeatedly for guidance. Each time she was responsive with thoughtfulness and respect. I highly recommend Mandy for speaking, project management and any employer needs. She is a go-getter who can make things happen with a positive attitude and true dedication.”

"There are so many positive things I can say about Mandy. But the one that sticks out most to me is her dependability. I've worked alongside Mandy in the Florida Public Relations Association since 2017. Since then, she has gone above and beyond to see the chapter succeed. She goes beyond her role as secretary by always offering help, turning around meeting minutes in a timely fashion and writing creative blogs for our website. Her uplifting attitude is always a plus as well!"

"I've collaborated with Mandy on several video projects and success stories to promote local businesses in the northwest Florida region. Mandy is great to work with and a joy. She has the best interest of her clients and does whatever she can to put them at ease in front of the camera. She write their stories with integrity. Mandy recognizes a good angle and knows how to feature people in the way that others can learn from and understand. I recommend her for any marketing, public relations, training or writing project."

"I cannot thank Mandy enough for the beautiful article she wrote and submitted to the Pensacola News Journal on behalf of the MOMS Club of Pensacola-NE, FL and our work with a local non-profit agency, the Gulf Coast Kids House. Mandy also submitted the article to a local cable access television channel and they actually invited us to speak on their show about our organization!"
