Educators
Marla was one of my graduate students in PA-660, Philanthropy & The Nonprofit Sector: History & Ethics and PA-661, Nonprofit Management.

Former colleagues
Marla and I worked together at the Muskegon Chronicle for quite a few years, where I was a photojournalist and she was a reporter. We worked in tandem to tell a story visually and in word. What I always respected about Marla’s style of reporting was her ability to calm people with her sunny disposition and listening ear. She has a natural curiosity about life and is genuinely interested in the subjects she interviews creating an open dialogue. Her writing goes beyond facts, but rather delves into the personal side of a story. — Kendra Stanley-Mills, photographer

The pieces themselves turned out marvelous and were very educational for the general public. You can tell that Marla has a passion for writing. I look forward to working with her on additional pieces in the future should the topics be appropriate. — Kristen Gerlach, PR/media contact
Marla is a content machine and an eloquent writer, period. Beyond that, she’s also a phenomenal person and someone that truly cares about the companies that she works with. Thanks, Marla, for all that you do! — Josh Marsden, MBA, business owner
