She is always creative, attentive to detail, and consistent in meeting deadlines. Rodika integrated within our in-house team perfectly and has shown a real passion for being a strategist – consistently updating the team of her work and progress while also providing holistic feedback for other channels. I would not hesitate to recommend Rodika to any potential clients. She has a wealth of experience in content development across a myriad of assets including reports, e-books, white papers, mini-guides, emails, and in-depth blog articles.

Most requested writer

Chris

I have worked with Rodika for several years, and I’m happy to recommend her as a writer for your project. Rodika is one of our most accomplished and requested writers by the editors of the Infosec Resources website. She is a true journalist — she is rigorous in her research, collecting multiple sources of information and synthesizing them into a coherent viewpoint while also properly documenting them at appropriate points in the story. Her writing is engaging, easy to follow, with a subtle dash of humor. Her work comes in pretty much ready-made, with minimal editing. When I assign a topic to Rodika, I’m confident that the article that is submitted will be written to the very highest standards, which is why I’m so glad to have her on my writing staff.

Talented content developer

Gedeon

I’ve worked with Rodika as part of our endpoint security product marketing team at Cisco. She’s one of the most skilled and talented content developer and writer I’ve worked with. Her ability to work with subject matter experts, quickly grasping key messages and breaking apart technical details — and turning them into high quality content at speed — is simply outstanding. You can tell in the way she organizes her work, whether she’s doing research or outlining content, that you’ll end up with excellent results every time. Last but definitely not the least, Rodika is such a pleasure to work with — always gracious, thoughtful and not shy to share her great ideas.

Excelled at Delivering Well-Crafted Articles

Recommendation for cybersecurity writer

I know Rodika Tollefson to be a talented, creative multi-media content creator and a responsive, thorough service provider. Rodika was one of the first contractors I recruited in 2014 to help me launch ThirdCertainty.com, a corporate-sponsored news and features website targeting an audience of company decision makers seeking knowledge on cyber risks.

With her background and training in business news writing and multi-media production, Rodika quickly established herself as my top writer. She immersed herself in mastering a rich, highly-nuanced topic, cybersecurity. And she excelled at delivering well-crafted articles, distilling complex themes into accessible narratives.

While I relied on her primarily to write stories, Rodika also contributed to assembling infographics and even shooting videos. And she demonstrated initiative in suggesting terrific content ideas spinning out of the story arcs we pursued. In summary, Rodika is intelligent and methodical, and she brings energy and passion to any tasks she takes on. I recommend her highly.

I could always count on Rodika to ask the right questions, address issues in a timely manner, meet our deadlines and produce accurate, high quality work. When you work with Rodika, you don’t just get a reliable contractor, you get a committed extension of your team.
