Her acute attention to detail, fortified by extensive research and analysis, helped bring the brochure design and web site development to a stage of perfection that could not have been achieved quite the same way without her dedication." Alan Vokey Sandra's entrepreneurial spirit allows her to put her heart and soul into small business stories. She has innovative and exciting writing ideas that gets the reader's attention.

More than once she coached us (and newspaper personel!) to make sure our stories were positioned in the most professional and effective manner possible. Dixie Redmond, Executive Director
Excerpts from freelance workshop evaluations:"I kept marvelling at this 'gutsy' woman fearlessly demonstrating success with every challenge and writing request - with energy and humour.

Not only did I learn a tonne, but I made some new friends, too." Lori Gallagher, Fredericton, NB "The guidelines were simple and easy to follow; the workshop was professionally managed yet gave those present a personalized sense of attention... a skills enriching experience and I felt most fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend."
