Client Responses

I hired Katrina as the fact checker for Southwest Airlines Spirit magazine in early 2002. During her tenure, the magazine has doubled in size and Katrina has stayed on top of an ever-increasing workload while consistently turning in accurate copy on a timely basis. Her breadth of expertise is amazing; health, sports, entertainment, business, etc. You name the subject and she can find the right sources to ensure an error-free article.
