“I worked with Ann Marie during my tenure at Girl Scouts of the USA. Ann Marie is a tenacious and intelligent professional with skills that are far beyond the title she held.

Ann Marie is enthusiastic, intelligent and strategic and I enjoyed our work together immensely.” - Courtney Q. Shore, SVP Communications, Girl Scouts of the USA

She has a wide knowledge base and a lot of experience in different areas of communications, public relations and marketing. Ann Marie is also excellent at meeting deadlines and producing work that is professional, thoughtful and comprehensive.” Wendy Henry, Director of Communications, Girl Scouts of the Wilderness Roads
“I am the co-founder of The Decorative Painting Apprenticeship Program and we hired Ann Marie to help us get sponsors, material donations, and publicity for our latest project that took place in New Orleans, LA after Hurricane Katrina. Ann Marie was GREAT! She listened to what we wanted, she made suggestions that helped us, and, in the end, we received way more donations then we had anticipated! She exceeded our expectations and I HIGHLY recommend her. Without a doubt, she’s the best!” - Bernadette Forese, Co-Founder, Decorative Painting Apprenticeship Program
“When the Decorative Painting Apprenticeship Program (DPAP) joined forces with Ann Marie, it was obvious to us in short time that we had the right person handling our fund raising. Ann Marie was key in our success to being able to successfully complete a “Katrina” restoration project. She knows how to get things done, and has that “can do” attitude. She quickly focused on who we were as a business, and without loosing our vision, Ann Marie was able to think “out of the box” to bring us success.” – Marlow DeMars, Co-Founder, Decorative Painting Apprenticeship Program
