A storyteller at heart who lets everyone know how wonderful you are
Heather is so talented in her writing I consider what she does an art. Her professionalism and creativity is second to none. I was in a time crunch and needed assistance in writing my bio for a new job, had it the next morning. Wow, is all I can say. If you haven’t utilized her talent, I suggest you do so because you are missing out.
