Ruth provided excellent writing support to a large number of stakeholders in the development of a series of case studies describing the impact of the University’s research. Ruth handled this complex exercise superbly. She had a thorough understanding of the highly detailed requirements of the project and was able to distil, communicate and apply this information effectively. She exceeded all expectations in terms of the quality of her work, and worked tirelessly and consultatively with our stakeholders to meet a series of tight deadlines. She provided regular updates to management, was proactive in seeking solutions to problems as they arose, and brought a great sense of positivity to the task. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and succeeded in developing positive relationships with all stakeholders including academics from a range of disciplines, (health and medicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc.). Ruth was especially skilled in translating complex science into engaging content suitable for a general audience. I would not hesitate to recommend Ruth to any University, Institute, Research Group or Researcher looking to appoint a writing professional.

I always breathe more easily when Ruth is on board with a project. I know she’ll respond attentively to the brief and capture the essence of the story in a way that will not only engage our supporters, but will also help them understand how they can contribute to change. Ruth has helped us with our annual fundraising campaign to protect the Merri Creek and its landscapes, as well as enewsletter stories and annual report case studies. She always completes her work on or before deadline. I also find that donors, supporters or staff she interacts with in the course of her work, come away feeling energised to continue their work. I highly recommend Ruth.
