“Fiona is proactive, thoughtful, and creative. She brings her expertise and innovation to every campaign she works on. Fiona is a skilled publicist and marketer and is highly effective at project managing on multiple campaigns at once, managing authors, creating content, pitching the media, building relationships, and securing placement for her books and authors. She’s an excellent, organized communicator and she works well on every team she’s part of. She always brings to the table her creative ideas for building our brand, increasing our social media following, and further cementing New Harbinger as a thought leader in the field of psychology publishing. On top of her professionalism, Fiona brings warmth and empathy to the office and she’s delightful to be around. Fiona would be a huge asset to any company, and I would highly recommend her to any position.”

“Fiona brings such a positive energy to the workplace! She is very warm and finds ways to connect with all of the author’s she runs publicity campaigns for, which lets them know that she cares about the outcomes of their books and will do her best on their promotion. She has great ideas about new marketing tactics and is quick to offer help whenever anyone needs it.”

“In my experience, she was a firm but empathetic leader when delegating, often explaining her thought process. Under her leadership, the other editors and I developed an understanding of the organizational challenges that face a publication, and the magazine as a whole reached higher journalistic standards.”

“When I interviewed Fiona for a blog writer position, I was struck first by her enthusiasm, and second by her extreme competence. Many people claim to be quick learners, but Fiona truly is one. Upon being hired, she immediately embraced the responsibilities of being a staff writer and eagerly took on new projects, oftentimes initiating interviews to enhance her reporting, and regularly setting up meetings with me to discuss ways in which she could continue to improve.

After only one semester at the Daily Californian, Fiona succeeded me as the blog editor–an accomplishment I attribute to her strong writing, her previous work as an editor, and a thorough knowledge of the UC Berkeley campus and community. As an editor, Fiona was thoughtful, constructive, and managed her many responsibilities with poise and professionalism.”

“Fiona Hannigan excelled in her position as a Campus Ambassador with UC Berkeley’s Visitor & Parent Services unit. Fiona was highly trusted and respected for her finely-tuned customer service and public speaking skills, and was oftentimes called upon to lead a tour for or engage with special campus guests. I would highly recommend Fiona for positions requiring strong interpersonal skills, the ability to work in a team, a fervent dedication to a subject matter, and a positive outlook on situations.”
