Some comments from former managers and colleagues:
"I was particularly pleased to work with Judy as a member of my team given her experience in corporate communications and journalism. Judy effectively navigated through the complexities of the ECU system and interacted with staff and faculty at all levels and across all disciplines to develop, write and edit stories that showcased the depth and breadth of research and creative activity at ECU."
--Ernest Marshburn, Director, Office of Research Development, East Carolina University
“Judy has always exhibited the unique ability to find “the story” where others would be overwhelmed by seemingly disconnected pieces of information. Her sharp, analytical mind allows her to see what others miss. She has exceptional project management skills and relentlessly pursues the most effective means to delivering on any assignment. She models a collaborative and participative management approach which brings out the best in those around her."
--Scott McElhone, EVP, HR & Administration, HBO
"I was impressed with Judy's ability to handle the day-to-day pressures of dealing with thousands of books and hundreds of reviewers. She not only excelled in the job, she also contributed to other areas of the magazine, assigning and editing many features. When I became editor-in-chief of Publishers Weekly, I recruited Judy to join the staff. Her work was appreciated by our readership who often commented on how insightful Judy was in what she chose to cover and how thorough she was in background research."
--Nora Rawlinson, Library Journal/Publishers Weekly
"Judy had the ability to come into a new industry and hit the ground running. At meetings she came up with story ideas and was an excellent interviewer and writer. Judy also ably served as representative on behalf of Incentive magazine at industry events. She was an excellent editor and the best right-hand person an editor could have."
--Jennifer Juergens, Incentive magazine
