"I had the privilege of working with Cynthia on the most recent Verizon Payment Security Report and came away with a strong appreciation for what she brings to a project. Cynthia is a skilled writer and editor with real depth in cybersecurity and payment security. She engages with subject matter experts on their level, ensures technical accuracy, and produces content that holds up to a knowledgable audience. She has a strong instinct for what a publication needs to achieve as a whole. She translates dense research and data into clear, purposeful narratives while maintaining a consistent, authoritative voice throughout - the kind of discipline that matters when the stakes are high. Her editorial judgment is equally sharp. She knows what to cut, what needs more rigor, and when something isn't quite right. Her critical thinking makes the product stronger at every stage. Cynthia is a creative thinker, bringing fresh ideas and a collaborative spirit to the work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a strong communications or publishing professional."- Jennifer Rudrow, Strategic Execution Partner, Verizon Enterprise Solutions

"It was a high-pressure environment in which she and I had to survey the news of the day (as provided by the AP wires), choose which stories we wanted to highlight, and then rewrite the wire copy - all within just a couple hours each morning. ... Cynthia was cool under pressure, a skilled writer, and a totally pleasant colleague.... And she did it all with aplomb and grace." - Abraham McLaughlin, New England Bureau Chief and former White House correspondent, The Christian Science Monitor

“I always found Cynthia to be a person of keen intellect, high ethical standards, and boundless positive energy; all good qualities when running one's own newspaper. She possesses terrific editing skills and always shows a high degree of professionalism.” - Kathryn Mattison, former writer, The Princeton Outlook newspaper

"Cynthia was encouraging and full of humor. .... She was always open to experiments with page design, by opening a page up and make it breathe, rather than trapping illustrations in rectangles.... I very much appreciated working with someone who was so encouraging of that kind of design, as it helped me develop my own page design skills. Our collaborations paid off in several Awards of Excellence from the Society of Newspaper Design.” - Brian Lies, Children's book author/illustrator
