TESTIMONIALS
“Coaching and prep were invaluable”
“Erica served as my campaign manager for my successful first and very inexperienced foray into local politics. Without Erica’s incredible contributions and hard work, it’s hard to imagine I would have won. Erica was nimble in navigating new territory and there was no task she was unwilling to do.
She worked endlessly to figure things out, and always had a positive attitude. Her understanding of media and our local nuances was deep, and her coaching and prep were invaluable to me. She flawlessly executed a social media campaign from scratch and grew our following rapidly with zero social ad spend. It was a great pleasure to work with Erica, and I wouldn’t hesitate to engage her again for a wide variety of roles.” —Bill Guth, Aspen City Councilman, business owner and developer
“Won’t stop until she has all the information to write the best story”
“Erica is as thorough of a reporter and writer as I've worked with. She has a knack for talking with people, making sure she's asked all the questions and writes in a way to make it easy for readers to follow and understand even some of the most challenging topics. And, she takes great pride in her work, which means she won't stop until she has all the information to write the best story.” —David Krause, former editor, Denver Post and The Aspen Times
“A gifted writer who invests heavily in her every endeavor”
“Erica is a gifted writer who invests heavily in her every endeavor, whether it's a deep-dive journalistic piece on local issues, a much-needed lighter story covering the arts and entertainment scene or managing a city council campaign. Erica throws herself into making sure she gets the details right. One need only read her work to enjoy the fruits of her labor.” —Megan Tackett, former editor-in-chief, Aspen Daily News
“A self-starter with a strong work ethic”
“From day one, I was impressed with Erica’s work ethic and passion for storytelling — and her courage to approach anyone, even the most intimidating of sources, to get the best story. She can ask the right questions, dig deep into a story, and bring out the human element that makes it compelling. Her writing is insightful and engaging, and she has a keen eye for detail that adds depth to every story. As Erica's manager, I witnessed her dedication to journalism, her willingness to learn, and her ability to listen to feedback and apply it toward her already-high journalism and writing standards. Erica was always eager to take on new challenges and assignments. Her passion for journalism was evident in everything she did, especially through the integrity she brought to her work.
What impressed me most was her never-give-up attitude. She is not afraid to tackle complex subjects, and she approaches each story with a determination to get to the heart of the matter. She is willing to put in the extra hours and go the extra mile to ensure that her stories are accurate, fair, and well-researched. Erica always approached her work with a growth mindset and was willing to listen to constructive criticism and use it to improve her writing.
Erica is a self-starter with a strong work ethic. She is reliable, meets deadlines consistently, and is an excellent team player. Her positive attitude, willingness to collaborate, and open-mindedness make her an asset to any employer looking to raise the bar on content quality. She's a real star and a gem of a human being!” —Lauren Glendenning, former editor, The Aspen Times
