CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Noel McCormick – Vice President of Advancement at Rise, Inc.

“I feel fortunate to have found Crystal to help with our grants and with our written communications. She has jumped in this year and taken on several large grant projects right away. She is thoughtful, organized, strategic, and most importantly an excellent writer and communicator. Rise is a very large and complex organization with over 40 different programs. It can be challenging to get oriented. I can highly recommend Crystal without reservation and look forward to continuing to work with her for years to come.”
