Gail NewboldSenior editor, Community Magazine
Breanna came to our magazine in 2014 highly recommended by another of our writers and I’ve been happy with her work ever since. She’s willing to take any assignment I give her, meets her deadlines and works hard to please. I have continued to use her in almost every issue.
Samantha MillburnEditor, Covenant Communications
Breanna is a natural writing talent. It’s in her veins, and it comes out on paper like a work of art. She has the ability to take an idea and form it into an article or book full of feeling, anticipation, and life. Her research is thorough, and her writing is professional. I don’t think she knows how to turn out a mediocre project—everything she does is at the highest level and with her greatest effort.
Rebecca LaneWeb editor, UtahValley360.com
One of the most refreshing skills Breanna has is that she has an endless stream of original ideas. Her love for research takes the monotony out of LDS news, which she covers. Always dependable, Breanna has a passion for research and writing that makes her an asset to the UtahValley360 team.
