J. Joly - Branded to Film
Joanne's attention to detail, organization, and on-time delivery on the projects she has collaborated on has always impressed me. Her research and writing skills are on point. Lastly, her positive energy and genuine passion for history is infectious. Her work and dedication at Branded to Film has been outstanding. Highly recommended.
Andrew Loucks - Chesley
After hitting a roadblock on a local history project, I was fortunate enough to connect with Joanne. She provided me with research assistance and expertise, as well as guidance with respect to editing and writing. Her help turned my amateur personal project into a professional report on a complex area of First World War history that I was confident enough to share with my community. Thanks Joanne, I couldn't be more pleased.
Eli Yarhi - Canada Post
Having worked with Joanne at Historica Canada, I hired her for two extensive research projects in my new role with a relatively quick turnaround time. She is a thorough and thoughtful researcher whose work demonstrates the tremendous care and consideration she puts into it. I would not hesitate to work with Joanne again or to recommend her services.
