Kind words from smart people

I love thinking about the future with Joy. As a natural strategist and dreamer, she sees connections and overlap between different spheres and can often see opportunities others cannot. This comes out in her (superb) writing, where she often surprised me with a challenging unique perspective that made me think about my own.

Joy is also supremely adaptable. We transitioned together from a large company to a tiny startup. I saw (and sometimes managed) her wearing an inordinate number of hats. There is no mountain too high. When I asked Joy to start up a Student Ambassador program for College Confidential, she immediately understood the value and jumped at the chance to take it from ideation to delivery. She jumped through hoops with legal and HR, set up a recruiting pipeline, created the onboarding for 10 students in the first cohort, and made sure each young ambassador was set up for success. She did all this with very little direction from me aside from the occasional question or blocker. When I asked her to take over SEO — she jumped in with both feet knowing practically nothing — and finished the year with a mind-blowing 1000% increase in keyword coverage.

Most of all, Joy is a ton of fun, an awesome human being, and a joy to work with. (Pun intended)

Joy is a brilliant chatbot and content writer. She brings your AI to life with empathy, compassion, and thoughtful content. As a teammate, she brings an energy that lifts everyone to their best abilities and cultivates creative thinking. I've had the pleasure of working with Joy for 3 years and the passion she has for the work she does is inspiring. She would be an asset to any team.

I worked with Joy on the Digital Content Team for many years at InsideTrack, and she was so key to what we were able to accomplish. Not only is she an amazing writer, but she was always willing to lend her talents on video projects in so many other ways. She helped record voice-overs for several video topics, as well as answered interview questions as a subject matter expert on camera many times. We couldn't have done what we did without Joy. She is extremely intelligent, timely, and creative. I always knew that I could rely on Joy to give us that extra boost for putting out the best possible product.

Joy is smart, thoughtful, reliable, endlessly creative, and funny. I have worked with Joy while she has been in a number of roles at InsideTrack including as a coach, a manager, and a quality specialist. No matter her role, Joy has an amazing ability to connect with people, find ways to motivate others to do great work, coach and develop individuals toward their potential, and she inspires others to see the bigger picture in terms of how they play a unique role in a team meeting its goal. Joy is exceptional at leading a team through a change, including difficult transitions. She listens to concerns, provides perspective, creates a vision, and makes sure the team is celebrating success and keeping a sense of humor along the way. We worked for 2 years together on a very difficult client project and I was always so impressed with her ability to keep our team productive, relatively sane, and laughing. Much of that can be attributed to her leadership style, but she is also excellent at building a team and putting the right people in the right seats. She thinks critically about employee fit for a specific role, but also for a specific team environment and I've seen her increase diversity of teams in terms of communication styles and strengths, and thereby increase the capacity of the team to solve problems and be more resilient during transitions. Joy is also an exceptional writer and copy editor. We collaborated on many reports over our years working together. She has a gift for clearly communicating ideas, connecting research to the thesis, and drafting a cohesive story.

Joy is a force of analytical nature. Her ability to assess the landscape of a given situation, propose creative solutions, and roll up her sleeves to implement in a poignant and detailed way alongside her teammates and senior leadership is incredible. She has a heart for service, a discerning mind, and communicates with intentional poise. Joy has been a wonderful colleague and teammate for years and would be a fabulous and talented contributor to any team.
