“I gave Esther journalism assignments while she worked as an intern at the C-Ville Weekly. She was thorough, careful, she worked hard and always met the deadline. I always felt like Esther communicated well with me, letting me know how various projects were coming along, but she was also able to solve problems or take the extra step on her own. She was quick to grasp the essence of the assignment. She figured out how to strike the proper tone in an interview, and she was unafraid to write in her own unique voice. She always brought a good sense of humor to the office, and managed stressful situations gracefully.”
