I hired Ann to do some market research for me. Not only was she very fast, she also produced a much larger volume of information then anyone I had ever worked with before. She’s great and probably one of the best values in her field.

Ann is a passionate visionary. She was doing Business Intelligence long before it even had a name. She saw the future of information on the internet and knew how to bring meaning and organization to it to solve problems. Ann is also creative, dependable and diversified.

When I was laid off from a ten-year position at WRQ, Ann’s help with job-search strategy and tactics, and even more her creative, relevant inputs on leads and directions I wouldn’t have thought of, helped keep me focused and energized for a (successful!) search. I would definitely seek her help again.

When I worked with Ann, she was doing sourcing and recruiting research for Swedish Medical Center. I was always amazed at the creative avenues that she could find to publicize Swedish and to uncover extremely hard-to-find healthcare candidates. Ann consistently showed that she has the talent and ability to deliver an outcome beyond what is asked of her – she digs deeper and produces a comprehensive, insightful product. In addition to her work attributes, Ann has a terrific personality – she is razor-sharp, compassionate and wickedly funny – just a delight to work with!

Ann is one of those rare individuals who has a true and burning ‘need to know’ and the ability to find the answer! She is curious and bright, not intimidated by the unknown and the untried…willing to be the first to chart new territory and see where the adventure will take her. Ann has great energy and is a pleasure to work with - a creative spirit, possessing great intelligence and a lust for information and new ideas! A great addition to a team with capacity for a real out of the box thinker!

Not only was Ann a pleasure to work with as an author, but her sense of humor is unrivaled in the Greater Seattle area! She has an astonishing ability to make the mundane remarkable, to glean the most fascinating tidbits from the most arcane research, and to make the reader want to turn to the next page, all excellent qualities in an author. Her curiosity about the world combined with her attention to the minutest detail makes her invaluable as a researcher. One only wishes that all authors had her lyrical ability with a turn of phrase!

Working with Ann may be one of the best things you ever do. Ann is not just intelligent, she makes things happen and can draw from her many resources. She is a people person with an engaging personality, quick intellect and a loving soul. She turns on a dime, develops the big pictures for others and is generous and patient. Her training skills alone are far superior to others. She doesn’t just know information, she owns it and when she is done, everyone owns it. While working with her on several projects, I have been continually amazed at her ability to research, demonstrate and construct concepts from vague notions and translate this to others. Business intelligence is not a light science. She knows what she is doing and I look forward to more collaboration with her.

Ann - I never knew how important it is to know HOW to find all the information that’s out there and in a timely way too! Who knew library science was so interesting? Thanks for providing the service you do so those of us who might be allergic to research can still have the knowledge we need to be our best.
