"I've managed creatives for a long time, and among all the writers on my teams, Taffy has demonstrated the greatest adaptability and range. She can write about anything, and her ability to execute briefs with ease has empowered us to make some truly extraordinary content together.

She would be a tremendous asset to any content project or team."
