"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Crystal in my three previous jobs as colleagues at Meredith. I’ve also had the the honor of supervising Crystal while at Hola! USA and Floricua/The Americano. She is not only an exceptional editor, a meticulous copywriter and a sharp proofreader, but she is also a wonderful leader. Crystal is someone I will always want to work with and her commitment to excellence makes her an asset to any brand looking to hire only the best. I highly recommend Crystal and I selfishly look forward to working with her as many more times as possible. On a personal note, Crystal is kind, always ready to help, and easy going. She gives the words 'female solidarity' whole new meaning."

"Crystal is a great writer and thoroughly qualified to do work on translations to and from Spanish. I know because she was my student several years ago at Saint Louis University, Madrid Campus. I have followed her career since then and she is everything and more than her early studies promised she would be."

"Crystal is a reliable, professional and polished writer. She has written book reviews, author profiles and opinion columns for VOXXI. All of which have required minimal, if any, editing. She is able to pitch and also take on assignments and deliver them on time, practically ready for publication. In the online business this is a must. She is a valuable asset as a writer, for any publication, both online and offline."
