“I had an opportunity to work with Aly on the marketing for the SuperNova South conference. She is an actual Swiss Army Knife of marketing. She whipped out amazing SEO-ready blog posts. She created graphics (she used to be a graphic designer). She curated programming for the programming team and put together amazing sessions. She helped with social media. This was all as a volunteer but Aly never treated it like the last thing on her (very long) to do list. She took her role as a volunteer as seriously as if it were her first big job. And let's be honest - a lot of the tasks we asked her to do are the kind of thing she probably oversees at her day job. But nothing was beneath her and she was enthusiastic and helpful about everything. If I could hire her, I would. She's on my list of top all-time marketing performers. ”
