“Kristina is one of a kind. She is a professional, passionate, thorough, generous, and not to mention talented editor. We came to Kristina looking for someone to proofread our website. We left with a well-rounded understanding of our company's objectives and branding. Kristina does more than correct your grammar. She helps you write your story and effectively communicate your message while teaching you how to do it! This sounds too good to be true, but this is truly our experience. We look forward to collaborating with Kristina in the future!"
/ Lesley Jacobowitz, Co-Founder, Upward Vibes /
“Kristina was a pleasure to work with. She excels at synthesizing complex information and communicating it clearly and succinctly, without dumbing it down. She worked on several projects with a major client -- they were very happy with her work and specifically asked for her to work on one of their most important writing projects. She works well both as a team member and individual contributor. I highly recommend her!”
/ Dr. Teresa Behrens, Executive Director, Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy /
“I have relied on Kristina for copywriting/editing services for years now. What I love about working with her is that, of course, she can edit/write copy, but she also asks clarifying and thought provoking questions that allows me to think deeper about what I'm trying to say. Having her as my second pair of eyes and thought partner has been rewarding for me and helped me grow my business. I'd highly recommend her for just about anything copy/editing related.”

"I have contracted Kristina to engage and execute many different writing projects. Her ability to hear a vision and execute strategically, gracefully and on time is masterful. I contracted Kristina to assist with editing of my first book, Leader by Mistake. This was a fast-paced, high energy, quick turn around project that she graciously signed up for. Kristina has a very unique engagement style that is stern, pleasant and very much action oriented. Her ability to look at text and storytelling from many different angles and perspectives is a dynamic skill set. Since that initial project, I have contracted Kristina to assist with blog support, personal branding documents, website copy and other strategic initiatives. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again!

"Kristina is fast, prompt, professional, and always fun to work with. Not only has she shaped my articles, she's made me a better writer. I couldn't recommend her more."
/ Jon Williams, Founder of Culture Amp & PYN /
“Kristina is downright extraordinary. She can simultaneously grasp the big picture, break a big job down into concrete steps, and never lose sight of the smallest detail. When she was with the Michigan League of Conservation Voters, she took our planning and execution of events and publications to a whole new level. Even in a fast-paced, ever changing environment, she focuses on the goal and ensures every step is done well and on time. This, combined with her excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate, made her a critically important part of the team.”
/ Kim Easter, Regional Director of Development at University of Michigan Law School /
“It was a pleasure working with Kristina and she is the best editor you can hope for. She has been excellent in handling my request as a true professional. She brought the pieces together, edited carefully, and added depth and meaning on my marketing portfolio. She is easy to work with and always meets deadlines. I am grateful to have had Kristina on my portfolio project!”
/ Ga(Grace) Jung, Independent Contractor & Trade Show Manager /
“In a time of chaos, Kristina Pepelko provided needed stability to an organization that went through more transitions in the previous year than most see in a decade. Kristina was hired as Marketing and Communications manager for Kids’ Orchestra bringing a tremendous amount of experience. It was incredible to see how her communications style gave life to the mission and clarity to internal and external stakeholders. I appreciated her dedication to the nonprofit profession including code of ethics and Donor Bill of Rights. Above all, I admire her ability to influence all levels of the organization with her knowledge and facilitation. I look forward to the opportunity when we can work together again.”
/ Melissa Parmelee, CFRE, Nonprofit Development Professional /
“I had the pleasure of working with Kristina at the Johnson Center for Philanthropy while she served as the Agard-Orosz Fellow. Kristina was hired based on her obvious strengthens – excellent writing, clear and effective communications, and a resume that evidenced dependability and high-quality work. However, she regularly exceeded those expectations and outran the purview of her role by providing thoughtful and actionable insights, coupled with a positive, encouraging, and empowering attitude towards her work and colleagues. Kristina was – and continues to be – the consummate colleague that combines her unique background of writing and editing, content development and strategy, and project management to efficiently deliver high-quality work in both the nonprofit and for-profit contexts.”

"I worked with Kristina at One Green Planet. I found that she is a diligent team player, who worked calmly in a high-pressure, deadline-driven work environment. She was always willing to do more by offering to help her team members with editing and article ideas. Her highly motivated attitude helped her land a managerial position at OGP, where she was able to manage the day-to-day operations of the online publication. I highly recommend Kristina."
