TESTIMONIALS

“Koki is a highly skilled and dependable journalist, able to quickly wrap her head around a wide range of topics. In just a few short months, she has proven herself a valuable contributor at SmartBrief, both in summarizing material for our newsletters as well as creating original content.” — Mary Ellen Slayter, Senior Editor, SmartBrief Inc.

“We count on Kaukab. She is the final gatekeeper on quality control, proofing our pages when we think they’re ready for print. … She’s also flexible, which is important for a small operation that sometimes needs to change plans quickly.” – Patrick Boyle, Editor, Youth Today

“In her tenure as Editor-in-Chief at Street Sense, Koki dramatically elevated the content, quality and overall design of the newspaper. At a time when the organization was growing in scope and size, Koki commanded our all volunteer-writing staff and helped boost our circulation and our web presence. Prior to her arrival, Street Sense’s website was mainly static. But she converted our site into a dynamic portal with current news stories, generated an e-newsletter, and created a blog that boosted our online readership. Koki also generated original content that elevated the level of discourse on homelessness and poverty in the nation’s capital. In particular was a piece she wrote on the rise of suburban homelessness, a subject often not reported on in the other local media. Beyond her accomplishments, she connected well with staff, volunteers, board members and the homeless men and women who worked with the paper. She was truly an asset to our organization.” — Ted Henson, founder and board member, Street Sense

“I wish Ms. Smith the best as she continues her career in the development field. Based on the energy, commitment, interpersonal skills and professional expertise that she demonstrated during this year in Pakistan, she has much to offer any donor, consultant, or non-governmental organization (NGO) involved in development activities overseas.” — Jonathan Addleton, Mission Director, USAID/Pakistan, December 2006
