What they say about my work

Josie Hough – Communications & Digital Marketing Manager – Globethics.net

Loyola provided invaluable support and talent to our communications team during our first in-person international conference since the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing to its great success. Not only did she deliver excellent quality news articles, social media copy, and photography to cover the event, but her calmness, positivity, and reliability was a huge motivator for the team at such a busy time. We look forward to collaborating again in the future.

Fanny Cachat – van der Haert, Programme Manager – Child Rights Connect

We have had the pleasure of collaborating with Loyola. She is a very talented communication professional, and extremely pleasant person to work with! She has shown a lot of dedication, commitment and flexibility in undertaking her assignments, always going an extra mile. She is a fast-learner and quickly got grips with our organisation and communication needs. Her enthusiasm, leadership and skills have allowed us to start strengthening our organisational communications framework, develop staff skills in key areas, and address a critical gap in our communication with member organisations. Importantly, she is able to explain communication concepts and strategies in simple words, adapting to the varying needs, knowledge and aspirations of our colleagues.

Giuseppe Fusco, Global Forum for Children and Youth Director – UNICEF Private Fundraising and Partnerships

We had the pleasure of working with Loyola on the digital communication strategy and assets of the first Global Forum for Children and Youth in December 2021 and are truly grateful for her leadership, energy, competence and commitment to the project. Thanks to her the Forum had a vibrant web site presence as well as relevant and impactful social and digital media activity through UNICEF channels and the ones of the Forum’s partners. Loyola brought positive energy and fresh insightful knowledge and perspective on digital communication as well as a “can do” attitude and the flexibility needed to build an ambitious global initiative such as the Global Forum.

Yann Hakam, Communication and Media Manager, Rosa-Luxemburg Stiftung

Loyola has created our office communication strategy, that we still use today, and an informative and beautiful website. She also helped us with her expertise on a range of different projects. She is full of ideas and has a very strong work ethic that was appreciated by all of our team. We hope we will be able to collaborate with her again in a near future.

Ernst Décsey – Communication Specialist (Digital Workplace) – UNICEF Private Fundraising and Partnerships

Loyola has been working with us for 2 and half years. She provided support and trained our 70+ intranet publishers community in using Sharepoint online and in best publishing on our intranet. We were able to also gradually benefit from her more creative expertise as she produced infographics and videos for the team. Loyola has been a very valuable team member, extremely reliable, proactive, well organized and known for her coordination role and legendary smile.

Rev James Tetley, Associate Pastor Crossroads Church, Geneva

At the start of the COVID lockdown in March 2020 our church was no longer able to meet physically. This led to the need to pivot fast. Loyola seeing the need volunteered her expertise to guide us through this challenging period. She proposed an online church solution, and led the team to ensure the services were edited and aired to a high standard guiding us through communication, video and editing decisions. She also was the chief video editor ensuring an excellent church experience for our on-line viewers. Her leadership and expertise has led us to seeing a whole new way of doing church through seeing this period not as an interruption but a disruption to the way we do things

Hazel Reeves MRSS SWA FRSA, Sculptor

Loyola is utterly professional, yet friendly and able to communicate in a language that wasn’t too techy. I continue to get a lot of compliments on the website. I would whole-heartedly recommend Loyola for any website projects

Yehuda Stolov, Executive Director of Interfaith Encounter Association

I highly recommend Loyola, in her work she is very initiative, very articulate and very pleasant to work with

Lars Bosselmann, former Director International Advocacy and Alliances of CBM International

Loyola has been developing a communication and dissemination strategy for our key publication entitled ‘Dialogues on sustainable development: a disability-inclusive perspective’. Thanks to her work, that publication became one of our most successful ones in reaching decision-makers and other key stakeholders. I have experienced Loyola as a very professional, motivated, reliable and friendly colleague.

Keith Hine, Chairman of Friends of Ludhiana UK

Loyola has given us a really professional website, easy to navigate, full of information. The homepage is eye catching, and our donations have increased as more visitors access the site.
