“Working with Annette was one of the greatest professional gifts I've experienced in my business. I brought her on at the beginning of a pivotal and high-pressure time to support a large, fast-moving group travel opportunity. What I thought would be temporary support turned out to be one of the most impactful partnerships I’ve had. Annette didn’t just step in; she completely saved the day. She saved me. She brought order, strategy, and so much calm to what could have otherwise been a very overwhelming situation. It is because of her we have a pleased client, and I am so grateful for that. From the very beginning, she guided me through every aspect of the group process with confidence, clarity, and thoughtfulness. She helped shape the initial proposal, collaborated with me on appropriate planning fee structures, and created clear frameworks that brought structure to an evolving process. She was the one thinking through not only what needed to happen now, but what we would need down the line always with the client experience, team efficiency, and business integrity in mind. Annette is one of those rare people who naturally thinks ten steps ahead. She is incredibly proactive and organized and is the most detail-oriented person I’ve ever worked with. She doesn’t wait to be told what to do. She anticipates needs, catches blind spots, and takes initiative in a way that allows everyone around her to do their best work. She noticed inefficiencies in our internal systems and gently offered solutions to streamline the group planning process in a way that respected what we had in place while helping us consider how to improve. Her level of commitment and care blew me away. She took full ownership of her role, treated our client’s business like her own, and operated with such pride and excellence that it lifted the standard for everyone involved. She communicated with transparency, consistency, and grace - never missing a beat, never letting details slip through the cracks. She is also just an absolute joy to work with. Reliable, kind, curious, collaborative - she brought such positive energy to every interaction. I felt like I could trust her completely, and I genuinely looked forward to our time working together. That kind of dynamic is invaluable. Annette is the hero both behind the scenes and forward facing who makes everything run seamlessly, and her presence elevates the entire operation. I’m endlessly grateful for the way she showed up for me, for our team, and for our client. She exceeded every expectation, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you have the opportunity to bring her onto your team or bring her on for a project you need support with, take it. It will be a gift, and you will not want to let her go.”
