“I was impressed with the amount of effort April put in to learning about my agency and the specific program we wanted to build a grant around. Her understanding of the granting world and skills as a writer and editor helped my team develop a well-reasoned, defensible process to distribute limited resources and increase accountability. It feel great to have transformed a program that struggled for years into a sought after opportunity. April helped make that possible and was a pleasure to work with."
Robin Cahoon Thomas, Marketing Coordinator and Legislative Liaison
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
"April began her non-profit career interning at the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She was outstanding and professional in every respect. Her writing and communications skills were exceptional and she was able to achieve results and maintain her high standards within a team environment due to her engaging personality. Since those days I have worked with April on workshops and committees and have seen her grow to the point where she is a fully fledged non-profit professional. April is a top-notch individual who is an asset to any board, organization or team.”
