Lauded. Read what editors, publishers and other pros I’ve worked with have to say:  “Gina is the consummate pro when it comes to freelance writing. Lively copy, great interviews, always on time, on word count, and on message. Works hard to find out as much as she can about her audience before writing any piece. ALWAYS delivers the goods. Has the perfect feel for when to ask questions and when to simply get to work.” - Bill Schu, Group Editorial Director , MJH & Associates  “Gina is an excellent medical writer & strategist. We've worked together on numerous projects for Columbia University Medical Center. As a graphic designer, it's always a pleasure to have her provide the words for our visual music.” - Hershell George , Owner , h george design, Inc.   “Gina is an extremely professional communicator and a gifted writer who works quickly, accurately, and creatively to turn out prose that conveys messages clearly and compellingly. She is consistently reliable and works to achieve excellence in everything she tackles. In addition, she is pleasant and easy to work with. I have confidently recommended her many times over the years.” - Martha Frase, former Managing Editor, Association of American Medical Colleges “Gina is a versatile health writer who can tackle complex medical articles as well as healthy lifestyle pieces with ease. She is creative, fast, and reliable. At WebMD we have worked with her for over 10 years, and cannot recommend her highly enough.” - Jayne Garrison , Executive Editor, Special Projects , WebMD  “Gina is an excellent writer who consistently provides lively, accurate and accessible prose in articles on a broad range of subjects — from health care policy to basic and clinical science news and human interest features. In all cases, her reporting is thorough, informed, and insightful. Her versatility and consistency — in maintaining the highest standards of writing and reporting — make her one of my favorite "go-to" writers for both long-range and tight deadlines.” - Fay Ellis, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins/Wolters Kluwer Health Williams & Wilkins/Wolters Kluwer Health
