“Over the last five years, I have been fortunate enough to work with Cheryl on the creative services team at ebbo. She managed my team’s creative projects, ensuring that the designers had adequate time to finish them. Her communication with the other teams contributed to the smooth running of projects. Cheryl was an invaluable asset to our team and her work was of the highest quality. She was always patient and supportive, and was always willing to help out when needed.
I will always be grateful for her contributions to the team. She was a mentor to team members and was always willing to provide constructive feedback. She was also an excellent leader, inspiring the team to work together and achieve success.”

“I worked with Cheryl on the Marketing Services team at ebbo for almost two years. As the UX department director, my team leaned heavily on Cheryl to provide our bandwidth, communicate with project managers and internal stakeholders in regards to scheduling and timelines on our behalf, and assistance with management of UX projects within Jira as well as management within our Kanban board lanes.
Cheryl is very friendly and approachable; she is very open to adjusting workflows as necessary to create efficiencies. We had constantly moving goal posts in terms of processes and she was expert at managing resources through all the changes and providing us visibility into changes. I highly recommend Cheryl for resourcing and trafficking; she is well versed in managing workflows, assigning resources, and is an excellent conduit for communication between teams.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Cheryl in several contexts, both at Yale as a colleague and as a customer of her photography business for one of the most important days of my life - my wedding. Across both arenas I have had the opportunity to observe and can accurately comment as to the opinion that Cheryl is the consummate professional. She is punctual, thorough, and detail-oriented. She remains calm even in the most challenging of situations. As a colleague, this was appreciated with respect to our focus on completing the tasks at hand dictated by another. As a customer, this was valued even more as she was a steadfast source of composure and professionalism during what could have been a very hectic day and was collaborative in bringing my vision to reality. Cheryl’s attention to detail is unmatched and the way in which she captures the world through her creative lens is unparalleled. I acknowledge that, as a bride, I can recognize my own bias in my opinions of Cheryl’s creative work on my wedding; however, others who don’t know her personally and professionally have provided overwhelming feedback on the quality, emotion, and meaning she captured in her photographs of such an important event. I cannot recommend Cheryl enough for any one of the multitude of arenas she is exceptionally skilled at be it marketing, creative development, or photography. It was truly a wonderful experience to work with her across a multitude of domains.”

“We had the pleasure of having Cheryl take our wedding photos and it was one of the best decisions we made. We were amazed with the quality of the pictures. They looked like they were straight out of a bridal magazine. We are still receiving compliments on them. Cheryl was professional, creative, and receptive to our requests. She asked us what we wanted and delivered just that. During the planning process, she was exceptional with her communication and felt like we knew her by the time our day was over. Her dedication and passion was evident throughout the whole process and she was very creative in climbing, crouching and laying on the ground, and even obtaining shots from the winter-like climate. We were so pleased to receive a sneak peak within a couple days and the entire catalog of pictures within a month. The photographs speak to the incredible talent she has for the creative arts, especially highlighting her editing abilities! If you are reading this review, contact her now. You won’t be disappointed! We highly recommend Cheryl!”

“I met Cheryl over six years ago, since then I have worked with her in several capacities. Our paths initially crossed while both employed by Professional Photographers of America (PPA) where we worked closely on topics including advertising and sponsorships. This included details for high profile vendors and exhibitors. Projects were always completed efficiently and effectively - regardless of what hurdles had to take place to get there. Cheryl is known by many as a reliable contact for countless matters, within her department and beyond. She has a strong work ethic and a sense of calmness regardless of the situation. You will always be assured any and every project will be completely to its best ability with Cheryl in charge. ”
