“Katherine was the quintessential rock and life blood of the editorial team while we worked together at The Points Guy. I was in charge of analyzing our content performance on a weekly basis and providing feedback for improved performance to the Editorial department including Katherine's team. While Katherine spent the first decade of her career learning in the tech industry, Katherine routinely did laps around her colleagues with flashy journalistic driven organizations on their resumes for all of our key performance metrics. Not only did Katherine quantifiably perform as a writer, she was the best teammate anyone could ask for. Routinely picking up assignments and collaborating with other colleagues without concerns for the personal accolades or benefits. I'm forever grateful to have met and worked with Katherine and would jump at the chance to do so again. I highly recommend any organization that is looking to make content a priority to make the investment in bringing Katherine onto your team and giving her both the room and runway to take your brand and bottom line to the next level.”
