Testimonial
“Stella is incredibly thoughtful, organized, and good at what she does. She has not only supported my vision, but contributed to it! Working with Stella puts me at ease because I know that the follow through will be fast, detail-oriented, and as collaborative as I need. She’s helped me with everything from emails and fundraising to press kits and social media. You’d be lucky to have her on your team,” — ricky sallay zoker (aka. YATTA), Artist.
“Stella is a gift to creatives of all kinds. We first met in her capacity as the Getty Marrow Programming Intern at Feminist Center for Creative Work in the summer of 2020. It was a scary time to pick an intern: would they manage to stay engaged, connected, communicative, and accountable? Stella OVERDELIVERED. She has a unique talent to identify improvements that streamline processes, initiate creative strategies (with little guidance), organize business affairs, and communicate on behalf of creative minds that is virtually unmatched. When I shifted to taking more time for my personal creative practice, I knew I could not work without my right hand, and hired Stella to manage my personal creative studio. I'm deeply grateful to her and I know that part of the success of my art career and personal wellbeing is in large part due to her efforts, — Mandy Harris Williams, Artist/Theorist/Educator/Programming Director, Feminist Center for Creative Work.
“Stella began working with us at Feminist Center for Creative Work as a Getty Marrow Undergraduate Intern, and became so essential to the organization that we have worked with her ever since. She brings a truly remarkable array of skills to the table — she is incredibly thoughtful, trustworthy, detail oriented, kind, and considerate. She is a pleasure to work with and anything you task her with, you can trust will be done impeccably and with a lot of care,” Sarah Williams, Executive Director of Feminist Center for Creative Work.
