Let's Get Physical, Pop TV
“I met Kathy Smith when she came in to interview for our Writer’s Assistant position on Let’s Get Physical. Her positive personality won me over immediately. We cancelled the rest of our interviews and hired Kathy that night. From the very first day in our all-male room, her work ethic, contagious laughter and creative insight were invaluable. As a female writer, Kathy shared the perspective we needed. Because we were short-staffed and behind schedule on Season 1, I had to give Kathy a creative workload that went above and beyond the responsibility of a writer’s assistant. She became an integral part of our writer’s room and rose to the occasion every single day with a big smile on her face.
”Most of all, she’s a genuinely happy person and a joy to work with. Her positive attitude is infectious. During our work together, she never let this tired, stressed out bastard get too down. She’s the best. ”
Connor Pritchard was the co-creator of Workaholics, and co-creator and executive producer of Let’s Get Physical.

“Every day Kathy had a smile on her face and handled each task with an upbeat attitude. Kathy is a bright young woman with a hard work ethic. I know comedy is her passion, and I believe she’d be a wonderful fit on any 1/2-hour comedy. ”

Simantel Marketing Agency
“Kathy is one of the friendliest people I have encountered while working at Simantel. Her warm, outgoing and upbeat personality has earned her respect among colleagues and clients. She always wears a smile and has constant enthusiasm for helping others achieve success.
The times we worked together I found Kathy to be a plethora of information and ideas. Whether we’re collaborating content for websites, social media, news releases, blogs, case studies, new business, award submissions and more, Kathy always impresses me with how she balances all her responsibilities and uses her resourcefulness to enhance every project she works on. She’s also a strategic thinker and her vision for the course and goals of a project never falters.
In addition, Kathy possesses creative flair, has exceptional written and verbal communication skills, is detailed orientated and works well under pressure. She undertook the demanding responsibility of writing an immense amount of copy for Simantel’s revamped website. It required dedication, long hours and the ability to breakdown technical subjects and transform them into entertaining, easy-to-understand stories. Like always, she delivered exceptional work. She’s a valuable team player and serves the role of Public Relations/Brand Manager here well.”

Michael Walters Advertising Agency
“Kathy was the account manager of many of the clients for whom I created design work. She was an excellent liaison between the design staff and all the clients for which she was account manager.
Kathy’s excellent organizational skills kept projects moving efficiently and on time, and she also was very good at translating to clients why certain design decisions were made, and communicating to the design staff the client’s needs. Her skills certainly saved us, and the clients, hours of unnecessary back and forth.”
