Recommendations and referrals

With clients, I typically integrate into teams or departments for either one-off projects or longer-term professional relationships. Many of my contracts have involved multi-year services where I’ve worked with senior stakeholders and project managers. A few kind words from former colleagues and collaborators:

  • Corey Caro, Director of Project Management, Esme Learning (currently at NASA)

    Elise is an extraordinary editor and leader. She is a clear communicator, highly organized with extreme attention to detail, and an efficient worker. I am continually impressed by Elise’s ability to manage a variety of stakeholders and navigate client feedback among high-pressure deadlines and competing priorities. She is able to pivot masterfully from developing strategic frameworks and coaching writers to interfacing with clients to deliver an exceptional, cohesive product on time or ahead of schedule.

  • Ben Kauffman, Head of Editorial Content, Esme Learning Solutions

    Within a week of hiring and onboarding Elise at Esme Learning, she had not only ramped up on the difficult and quite technical writing project to which she was assigned (a course on RegTech), but had quite clearly taken the reins and was leading the content development – much to the relief of the two other writers on the team, both of whom had been hired for their specific subject matter expertise…She is an outstanding and versatile writer and team member, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

  • Jill Anderson, Writing and Editing Manager, ASEAN Clients

    Elise is one of the most talented writers with whom I have ever had the pleasure to work. She is smart, creative, inherently curious, and is able to spin enthusiasm into everything she touches. As a writer, she is thorough and concise, and never sacrifices a quality, engaging narrative. She met every deadline with ease and grace. And she willingly tackled last-minute projects with flair, passion and composure. She is conscientious and always warm and professional. This is a writer I will hire again and again.

  • Rishad Lilani, Associate Director of Partnerships, University of Oxford's Online Learning Division

    I had the pleasure of working with Elise on a project exploring potential strategic partnerships across emerging markets, including China, India, and the Middle East. Her research was thorough, creative, and highlighted an intriguing mix of future opportunities. Beyond her excellent work quality, she was responsive, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her for any projects.
