I came to rely on Delia as a quiet storm of creativity as a writer/editor — always noodling over the most interesting angle, cultivating content that would capture readers’ hearts and minds, and nurturing space for subjects to authentically share their experiences within a broader cultural context. I could also always rely on her innate ability to balance her creativity with organizational objectives.

Having worked closely with Delia for five years on a wide variety of fundraising-related communications, I can attest to her skill at persuasive proposal writing, compelling newsletter articles, and expert marketing copy. Best of all, she is a true partner with fundraisers, working collaboratively to identify the goal of the communication, determine the appropriate presentation and iterate on the final product.
