“Halley Bondy produces highly engaging stories. We communicated extensively for a video and article she produced about me, and I was blown away by her interviewing skills. Halley is incredibly thoughtful, asking insightful questions that lead her to fascinating discoveries. Where most people would let their fear of the unknown hold them back, Halley strides forward with a genuine desire to understand her subject. Her wonderful personality made it easy to connect with her. As a disability rights leader with a lot of experience working with media producers, I was particularly impressed with Halley’s skill in highlighting minority voices. Thank you for your fabulous work, Halley!”
