Writer Recommendations:
Natasha F., Video Producer and Filmmaker; one of Melanie's clients: 2018
"I contacted Melanie about writing an article and synopsis for my documentary film, Abundant Land: Soil, Seeds, and Sovereignty. Melanie viewed the film twice and followed up with specific questions to deepen her understanding of the storyline and documentary subjects/characters. She wrote an excellent article that showed knowledge of the film’s themes and the culture, and a sensitivity to the topic’s impact on the community the story focused on."
"Melanie also did independent research on the documentary topic to accurately flesh out the storyline and people profiled. I am impressed with Melanie's writing style and thorough knowledge of grammar and word use. She is a total professional who is easy to work with and I plan to work with her again. I fully recommend Melanie for freelance writing needs."
Zeke W., Advance Development consultant; a media connection with Melanie: 2017
"Melanie Graysmith is a committed journalist with excellent writing abilities and great experience. In her coverage of the education beat, she seeks out the hidden stories that bring our educational community to life and has strong connections in the field that help her unearth those stories. I am particularly impressed with her reporting on the issue of educational equity and her coverage of local and regional efforts to provide opportunity for youth from low-income backgrounds. It is always a pleasure to work with Melanie and to read her coverage. I fully recommend her."
Cynthia C., healthcare industry specialist; a former colleague at online media: 2012

Teacher Recommendations:
Lourdes J., Senior IT Specialist; one of Melanie's former clients: 2017
"It was a pleasure for me to have Melanie teaching me English classes. She has an engaging personality which motivates you to keep on improving yourself. I learned a lot from her and enjoyed her lessons very much. I would strongly recommend Melanie for English lessons to anyone."
Gerald L., international executive; one of Melanie's former clients: 2016
"After a few years in the US I was looking for classes to bring my English to the next level (pronunciation, business communication, idioms, etc). I had some average experiences in the past. Melanie is a great professional. She is very flexible and can adjust her classes to your very specific needs. It was also great to discuss with her a large variety of topics. I definitely made progresses and would recommend Melanie for English lessons." 2016
Samaher F., international economist; Melanie's former student at one ESL school, (2 comments): 2012

She is a very compassionate person and a professional writer and I have found that her writing style appeals to me and inspires me in many different ways."

"I was a student in Ms. Melanie's class for a few months and it was a great pleasure to learn from such a knowledgable teacher. She demonstrated enthusiasm, high support, and ability to participate in her students' development. She has never failed to engage with her class in each and every discussion in which she would make those discussions more fun and interesting."
Swetha G., Engagement Director for a non-profit; a former teacher colleague: 2011
"I had the pleasure of working with Melanie when we were both ESL Instructors… Melanie is creative and thinks outside of the box, which served her incredibly well as an ESL Teacher. She knows how to tailor strong lesson plans. She always went further than expected and used her own personal time to find material that best suited her students and maximized her classroom time. She was also a great mentor and did not turn me away whenever I sought her advice. Anyone who is considering hiring or collaborating with Melanie is just plain smart." ;
