Testimonials
“I hired Maggie to write a product/technology monograph for Advanced Animal Diagnostics. AAD is a science-based startup and was in need of someone to research and document the institutional knowledge of our first application, the milk leukocyte differential for the detection of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. Maggie did an excellent job synthesizing the relevant information in a well-structured, clearly written, easy to understand scientific 28-page document. I would definitely recommend her and plan to work with her again on future projects.”
