I have had the pleasure of working with Ruth for over a year and I count time as BR (Before Ruth) and AR (After Ruth). Ruth is client-focused, thoughtful, and solutions-oriented. She has worked beyond an assistant, where she has been instrumental in helping to create large reports, such as a series of compendium over 250 pages long. She has created the index and appendices, copy edited, and conducted quality checks on these reports. It is detail-oriented work and she does it all with finesse. (When her work was reviewed for quality checks, she’s passed with an average error rate of less than 1% for each project we’ve completed!) Above all, Ruth in an incredibly valued member of the team who is always there to help and make things better.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Ruth since 2013 on a number of publications and research projects. Every project has had multiple stakeholders and leaders, short timelines, shifting needs, and tight budgets. Ruth has worked professionally, flexibly, and in collaboration with our team. I can honestly say that she has been an integral partner. As challenges have arisen, Ruth has worked tirelessly to help problem solve and complete the tasks at hand. Specifically, Ruth has helped us schedule appointments with partners and research subjects, integrate text and excel data sources, build substantial components of publications and reports (e.g., indices and appendices), and assist with data collections (e.g., interviews). Ruth works well with a task, a timeline, and a budget, and she also works well integrated into the day-to-day of a project. This flexibility makes her a valuable collaborator.

Ruth is caring. She’s kind. She’s smart. She’s quick. She’s accurate. She’s responsive and professional. I enjoy working with her so much. She is very talented. She keeps me and my business and my disastrously messy inbox organized. She is amazing how she does it. We have worked out a fantastic system where if I need her to help me with something, all I do is send her an email and then I don’t have to think twice. It just gets done. If she has questions, she asks them very quickly, very succinctly so I can reply quickly because I’m a busy person. I don’t have time to answer long, long emails and don’t have time to write long emails myself. We have come to a fantastic, really partnership, in my business and Ruth takes great care of me.
