“Cheryl was terrific from day one. She identified weaknesses in our social networking platforms and provided solutions to
address those weaknesses. The social media for all three of our stations here improved greatly due to her efforts. She
was also able to quickly able to grasp our websign designs and keep them updated and looking good. Plus, she showed
herself to be a person with the desire to see something done right, which I always appreciate.”
- George Wolf, Programming Director, WHOK – 95.5 The Hawk
“Cheryl was "johnny on the spot" with any update for our web content. Wether it was updating picture pages, to creating
new pages to interact with our web viewers, Cheryl was "over the top." She not only knew how to maintain our web
content, she was bringing new ideas "to the table" and getting things done quickly. Thanks, Cheryl for your hard work. Joe

- Joe Pasternak, Programming Director, WLVQ – QFM96
“Cheryl is smart and motivated. She has the inherent ability to connect with people and build trust - a quality absolutely
essential in marketing, and even more important in the social media arena. She's willing to try new things rather than be
tied down to a few tired techniques. And most importantly, her whole life is tied to social media. She lives it, and will bring
that dedication to whatever team she joins.”
