Testimonials

"Claris was a pleasure to work with. She completed all the contracted tasks, meeting and often exceeding our expectations. She was already familiar with several of the programs we required, but where she was not, such as Canada Helps, she quickly took the initiative to learn. Claris responded quickly and positively to feedback, incorporating our editorial and design suggestions. She was always careful to recap any instructions to ensure clear mutual understanding. 

Based on her work with us, Claris produced a series of recommendations for how we can improve our reach to target audiences going forward. Claris is conscientious and diligent, detail-oriented, with a breadth of technical skills that were very valuable to our project."

- Catherine M Pead, Secretary for Concerned Lay Catholics

"Early on I was impressed with the preparation Claris put into learning the many new songs from our hymnal. Just as Claris was getting more comfortable with the music and the people at Hope, the pandemic hit and we had to pivot our worship to an online model. Claris was able to pivot with us, dependably recording videos that showed her versatility playing various hymns on piano or organ which added to our online worship experience. 

Over the years, Claris has always shown her reliability in terms of communication either in person or via email to ensure the music during worship was part of a smoothly run service. Even with the best of preparations sometimes things would come up that would necessitate a last minute change in the service and Claris was always flexible, handling the changes professionally. Our situation of not having a full-time pastor meant that Claris had to deal with a different pastor each week and she rose to the challenge with patience and understanding. "

"Claris consistently demonstrated exceptional initiative, creativity, and dedication. She led the initiative to establish our first automated social media posting system using an external scheduling platform, an improvement that greatly increased our workflow efficiency and consistency across all platforms. 

Claris also authored and published multiple educational blog articles that supported our mission and helped strengthen our digital presence. Her writing was clear, engaging, and aligned with our organizational values. In addition to her copywriting, she created numerous captions and graphic social media posts, demonstrating a versatile skill set and a strong understanding of content strategy ."

"Claris was a rock star on my team. She always brought innovative ideas to write about, and some of her blogs have garnered a high impact in search rankings. To date, one of her blogs, titled Research Recap: Generating Electricity from Rain, has a lifetime viewership of 8,600+ views and continues to rank as the second most popular page on the Sustainable Waterloo Region Website. Claris was always willing to try new roles on the team, as is evident from the roles she was part of during her time at SWR ."
