Testimonials
“I have always felt very fortunate to have a solid relationship with Adrienne and to know that all of our company’s needs would be met during each project she handled. Adrienne consistently worked in a very professional manner that impressed everyone with the company. We learned that we could always count on Adrienne for providing service in a reliable and flawless manner. We highly recommend her ability and service.”
“Adrienne is extremely efficient and tackles every situation as the most important. During her time at JourneyCorp, she helped me organize our social media, client/prospect/networking lists, marketing material, and represented us at many networking events. Adrienne also reached out to many clients and prospects to help them evaluate our travel programs. Her ability to pick up new information and technology quickly then forward it on efficiently was amazing. I was also impressed with her innovative ideas, ambitious work ethic and desire to learn & concur new things. Adrienne is an asset to any company and a gift to any client.”
