  • "Marissa brings a focused presence, clarity, and strategic insights.

    Our teams have consistently benefited from her ability to distill complex topics into clear, compelling content that resonates with policy audiences and diverse stakeholders. She has exceptional writing and editing skills, and brings a strategic approach to her work. She's also a thoughtful collaborator and mentor, and I found her model of working to be helpful in guiding my own approaches to bringing diverse perspectives to consensus.”

  • "Marissa is a rare talent:

    An exceptional distiller of data who knows how to translate complex, often technical information into clear, accessible insights for broad audiences.

    She has a remarkable ability to manage large, multi-stakeholder report development processes from start to finish, including narrative writing, production timelines, and feedback cycles for design and layout. Her organizational skills and attention to detail consistently kept projects on track even under the most bureaucratic and ambiguous circumstances.

    Beyond her expertise, Marissa is simply a joy to work with. Collaborative, dependable, and solutions-oriented, she’s someone I trusted time and again to deliver high-quality work on deadline.”

  • "I really want to thank you for this report - I thought it was excellent.

    It did such a great job of distilling down the enormous amount of work that the project did and making it digestible and understandable. I've worked on projects in the past that produced final reports well in excess of 100 pages (one even went over 1,000 pages), and this one seems just right to me - I'm going to keep it as an example of how to do this well!"
