What People are Saying…

“I am always most impressed by Polly’s ability to marry her vision and sense of possibilities to concrete and successful actions. What she imagines, she implements. She does this consistently with a level of thoughtfulness and always without fuss, whether that be for crafting a newsletter update, the creation of engaging social media content, preparing and directing board meetings, or long-term organizational planning to ensure viability and sustainability.”

— Peter M. Krask, Photolucida Board of Directors

“Polly is both a team player and a team builder; she is highly organized, a creative problem-solver, and always at the ready with encouragement, guidance and technical support. She is also a terrific writer, a talent that should not be overlooked! Through her writing and her marketing skills, she has had a vital role in spreading our organization's message, and helped educate our community of artistic entrepreneurs, expanding their opportunities to succeed.”

— Deborah Gilbert, APA New York

“I've worked with Polly for over three years at APA as the San Diego/Southwest Chapter Director. In that time, Polly has been an integral part of our team, supporting our ongoing marketing and communication efforts nationally and locally for all chapter events, including our local annual exhibition and fundraiser. She has been a joy to work with and is always willing to jump in and help whenever possible. I admire her talents, dedication, and patience; she will be greatly missed. She’s an incredibly talented and organized leader and will be a great asset to any organization..”

— Wendy Fisk, APA San Diego

“Polly is a true gem who has proven herself time and again as an incredibly resourceful, driven, highly organized, and strategic director of Photolucida. As a board member, I have worked closely with Polly since she was hired. At the time, we needed someone to ramp up quickly and she did just that, basically drinking from a firehose to learn the nuts and bolts of running programs for Photolucida. It required some heavy lifting, and I was amazed at how quickly Polly had figured out all the systems. She was able to troubleshoot with the developers of a complicated backend software used for the Critical Mass photo competition, run our social media and marketing outreach, and partner with our bookkeeper on the budget. She is a delight to work with - always cheerful, funny, and ready to take on new challenges. I'm constantly impressed by her ability to market our programs and expand the social media footprint, crafting beautifully designed posts that have boosted engagement. She is a strategic thinker who has expanded Photolucida's international presence and in doing so, she has improved our bottom line. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
