Attendees praised her knowledge of the subject matter, her energetic delivery and her sense of humor. I would highly recommend Connie as a speaker to any group looking for an engaging speaker with some great stories.”

“UNCG recently hired Connie to assist us with a research audit that was underway for the university's Integrated Marketing and Strategic Communication initiative. For the research component, Connie reviewed 90+ surveys from across campus and then provided analysis on 61 of the studies. She identified preliminary themes, which ultimately led to identifying the top key drivers regarding perceptions and beliefs of the university across a variety of target audiences.
Throughout the analysis process, Connie kept us informed and up to date on her progress. Her analysis was insightful, thorough and clear. She was able to dive into and dissect data that would have taken us months to go through and analyze on our own. Her efficiency and promptness kept us on schedule and the analysis will be a vital tool for serving the integrated marketing and strategic communication initiative.
We would welcome the opportunity to work with her again and highly recommend her data analysis services.”
