“Doreen and I worked together on NerdWallet’s Content team for ten years. I was consistently impressed by her meticulous and detail-oriented approach as a copy editor. She had an exceptional ability to improve every article that came across her desk and always took the time to explain her edits and rationale. This not only contributed to NerdWallet’s best-in-class content but also sharpened the skills of junior writers like myself who were just starting their professional writing careers. I am grateful for our shared time at NerdWallet and am confident that any organization would greatly benefit from having Doreen in its ranks.”
