“I can not thank you enough for what you contributed in words . . . I’ve gotten so many positive comments . . . your story has been amplified via links through Wine Business Monthly and www.bonvoyagevitis.com.

“Put simply, Andrea Dawson is a wizard with words. During my many years working with Andrea, my time with her always felt like a gift. As a human, she is warm, patient, kind, and thoughtful. And, as a writer, she always made the words I wrote (or even better, the words that were just dancing in my imagination) sound better, more accurate, and truly alive. Her work is not only impeccable, but she always made it look easy by doing things quickly. What's even better, Andrea nearly always hit the mark with her first draft. She is an excellent project manager, storyteller, and executer, a doer who is calm, helpful, and someone who makes those around her shine. If you have an opportunity to work with Andrea Dawson, you are lucky indeed. Hire her today!”
—Allison Brunhouse, Chief Enrollment and Strategy Officer, Kent Place School

"Andrea's work for our Athletic Department was tremendous.

“It was truly my joy and honor to supervise Andrea during my years as Director of Strategic Communications and Marketing at The Pingry School. I called her the unsung hero of the institution; she consistently rendered herself indispensable as she quietly and carefully crafted the most lovely, clear, powerful words in the most timely and strategic manner. Andrea is a storyteller to her core—the skillful way she illuminates the obscure and brings order to chaos is rare and valuable. I can promise that trusting Andrea with your school’s stories will make achieving your goal infinitely easier and more rewarding.”
—Dale Seabury, Educational and Communications Consultant

“In addition to being an excellent writer, Andrea is a superb listener. This skill came in handy while I was helping to grow a robust experiential education program at The Pingry School. Andrea asked questions that helped me articulate the program's vision and priorities, and she took the time to process the anecdotes I used as examples. She weaved this information into a coherent narrative that connected with the broader community. Andrea also took the time to make sure she got it right—first by asking me to clarify details and then having me review drafts before publication. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism were big reasons for the program's early success.”
—John Crowley-Delman, Middle and Upper School Director of Outdoor Education, Upper School History Teacher, Riverdale Country School

"Andrea was an amazing teammate and partner. In seconds she was able to understand the message I was hoping to convey, and oftentimes only minutes for me to see words on a page that achieved the intended goal. She supported the ability of everyone she worked with at Pingry to tell their story, and she made it better."
—David M. Fahey, Interim Director of Institutional Advancement, Former Director of Operations, Safety & Strategic Initiatives, The Pingry School

“Andrea has a wonderful ability to make those she interviews feel heard and seen. In our collaboration together, Andrea captured so many details that made my story come to life.

—Olivia Tandon, Assistant Director of Experiential Education and Science Teacher, The Pingry School

“I worked with Andrea at Pingry and was always impressed with her ability to write engaging news stories and copy on the school’s website. She is a skilled writer with a gift for bringing peoples’ stories to life through words. In addition to writing web copy and articles, I witnessed her talent for developing upbeat and creative scripts for new marketing videos. She thinks outside of the box and infuses her creativity into her work. Andrea is also a true professional who is dependable, organized, collaborative, and a team player. She is always willing to help out as needed and she stays calm under pressure and tight deadlines. I highly recommend Andrea without any reservations!”
