    Heather is a consummate professional who is dedicated and talented at coordinating all facets of the media and strategic communication events. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her at Air Liquide and for so many years at KBR before that. In all my years dealing with clients I have never come across someone with as strong a work ethic and professionalism that Heather exhibited each and every time I worked with her. Her attention to detail, thorough understanding of a company’s objectives as well as the target audience’s desires makes for a rare quality these days for any senior level communications professional.
