“There's nothing average or mainstream about Erin Schultz. Like a photographer who strives to capture a uniquely creative visual and portray the essence of a subject, Erin has an incredible knack for turning the average story into a compelling and unforgettable portrait of the human character. Every individual has a story worth telling, every incident impacts something or someone. She is a consummate professional who steadfastly refuses to settle for run of the mill or mediocrity. She writes each story just as she lives her own life: with integrity and passion. I would wholeheartedly recommend Erin as a journalist or public relations professional. She will instinctively utilize her talents while steadfastly adhering to a strict code of ethics. Count on her to thoroughly research a problem or situation and consistently deliver stories or strategies that beget on-target results.” March 7, 2010
