“Anyone who freelances knows that when you get to collaborate with a talented editor who supports their writers, that it’s a true gift! I’m so fortunate that I’ve had that experience working with Emily from day one. Her assignment briefs are detailed so there’s no guesswork, but at the same time, she’s super responsive and insightful whenever I’ve had questions, and always open to discussing potential new story angles as they arise … She’s definitely an asset to her freelancers, and as I’ve seen through the editorial process, she is integral to her team at U.S. News.”

“Emily Hayes was remarkable in her marketing role for fundraising for Episcopal Day School’s auction/fundraiser. She has impeccable communication skills and let the community know exactly what was happening, she explained well to her committee what she needed and gave timelines for when it needed to be accomplished. Episcopal Day School’s auction/fundraiser was a success due to Emily’s leadership, dedication, and marketing plan.”
