“Andrea brings a fresh and fabulous voice to executive speechwriting. She is wonderfully creative and finds refreshing ways to approach remarks for special events to reinvigorate team culture and energize team morale. For example, she wrote remarks for me for a building dedication and I was delighted with how quickly she sent me really thoughtful remarks that even managed to incorporate not only the history of the region and project but also some fun nods to the date’s global historic significance.
Most of all—and the main reason I reached out to her is because I’ve seen her speeches delivered by others—Andrea has a musical ear for dialogue and writes in a way that sounds like how I actually talk. She’s a remarkable talent - I recommend her wholeheartedly and look forward to our next collaboration.”
"Andrea has partnered with me to create remarks for two of life’s most seminal moments: a celebration of life service and the dedication of a major new building at our university campus - each life-changing events for the parties involved.
Andrea’s brilliance and compassion result in remarks that are truly exceptional, and her talented ear for dialogue also deserves mention. She literally creates remarks that authentically convey my voice and sound like something I would actually say. Andrea gets a lot of credit for her teaching and coaching, but her uncanny gift for writing on behalf of executives also deserves note."

"Bringing Andrea Abrams into my department proved to be invaluable for the continued success of the Department of Laboratory Animal Care at University of California, Berkeley. Over a 5 day period, all of my team members received interactive coaching to build communication and presentation skills with an emphasis placed on the animal laboratory care environment.
Andrea's approach of small class sizes encouraged an open and comfortable space for many of my employees who had never experienced a communications workshop and may have had trepidation about opening up in front of their colleagues. I would recommend reaching out to Andrea if you are interested in creating opportunity and enhancing the communication skills of your team. Thank you Andrea!
My facility manager is asking for another session with the animal husbandry staff. Andrea met with me and discussed weaknesses in staff communications and where our challenges were. From there she tailored her presentation to address many of these issues as well as the background information that she had to put out as building blocks. The feedback from staff was extremely positive, even from those staff members that said they didn't need it !! LOL!"

"Andrea has authored several commencement addresses for me over the years and each has been nothing short of miraculous. You don’t necessarily think of a commencement address as being unforgettable and yet these were.
Andrea blends creativity with a truly engaging and unique perspective. I consider Andrea an essential part of my team and have entrusted her with all of my most strategically significant remarks"

Working with Andrea has been truly transformative for me and for my business. English is my second language, and I often struggled to express my ideas clearly and confidently in my skincare brand’s marketing materials. Andrea helped me refine everything—from my website, reel captions to promo content and written communication—and the difference has been incredible.
Andrea’s ability to understand my message, elevate my words, and strengthen my confidence has not only improved the quality of my content, but also the way I communicate with my clients. She has a gift for making communication feel natural, exciting, and empowering.
I’m so grateful for Andrea’s guidance and support. She didn’t just edit my words—she helped me find my voice.

"Over seven years, Andrea helped all three of our kids get into University of California, Berkeley. (This is her alma mater and she knows it inside and out.) We definitely did not want to mess with our winning formula!
Andrea is absolutely amazing at connecting to and motivating young people. Our son in particular could not stop talking about his coaching appointments with Andrea - she has this way of helping him get genuinely excited about his future. Andrea is a real treasure and we’re grateful for what she has done for our family!"
