Editing/Mentorship/Organization Management

Stephanie has always been very supportive.

"Stephanie has always been very supportive of my work and ideas I've had with regard to film reviews and articles. She has helped my writing come along with her thorough and encouraging editing. She is always professional and quick to respond when asked questions." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

She is flexible and open to new ideas.

"As an editor, Stephanie provides direction when needed and doesn’t make major changes without consulting the writer. I don’t feel like I’m writing for Stephanie but rather writing with Stephanie in a collaborative effort." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

Stephanie is very creative, driven and passionate about the work she does.

"Stephanie listens to feedback and provides helpful insight. Working with her has helped me improve my podcast. The feedback I have received has led to changes that have made our show better." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

As a newer writer, Stephanie has graciously coached me on my writing and editing skills.

"There was a legendary actress over the age of sixty who had a breakthrough role beyond her decades long scream queen role that I wanted to bring awareness to for a broader horror audience. Having some challenges in the construct of the piece, Stephanie came into the picture as cowriter and did a beautiful job in the rewrite. The filmmaker praised us and the actress was beyond moved. It was a honor, and I couldn't have done that without Stephanie." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

She makes me a better writer.

"I articulate better and my articles are shorter thanks to her coaching on how to grab an audience in the first several paragraphs." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

I completely respect her as the Editor and follow her lead in whatever project I'm doing.

"Stephanie took a chance on letting me write features for her site and has continued to give me invaluable support in becoming a better writer. Any editorial suggestion is always balanced with the feature in mind and she is unafraid to make difficult decisions." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

She is an excellent leader and collaborator with superior writing skills.

"Stephanie is dedicated, communicative and insightful. She is imaginative, creating unique concepts for the site and has her own personal drive that is beyond compare. She is an excellent leader and collaborator with superior writing skills and I've learned a lot about team work and organization from my experiences with her." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

I’ve seen her continue to level up her organizational skills, her management skills, and her marketing acumen.

"I have worked with Stephanie as a freelance writer for her site Morbidly Beautiful since 2017. From the first interaction, she was professional and polite, maintaining positivity and inspiring others. As her website grew, I’ve seen her continue to level up her organizational skills, her management skills, and her marketing acumen. From what started as a simple spreadsheet has grown into a bustling community of over 60 contributors, employing their own editors and managers, and all of whom are working for free. That amount of work is just not possible without a leader who ensures that every step of the way, the process is easy and clear, the options organized." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

I love being able to work with someone as skilled in design as they are in editorial!

"Stephanie is ultra organized and keeps the workflow running smoothly. She's always happy to answer any questions I have. Best of all, her editing skills are fantastic. She's so creative and hardworking -- and Morbidly Beautiful reflects that!" - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

Stephanie was unbelievably easy to work with.

“My site is beautiful & exactly as I wanted it down to the detail. Despite the fact that I had a full meltdown midway through the process due to external circumstances, she stayed positive, responsive, and effective. Beyond the fact that I now have the beautiful website for my business that is required to play in this new economy, she never made me feel bad about the meltdown. So yes, she’s an incredible, talented, and efficient web designer. But more importantly? She’s a kind and compassionate human." — Aviva Ruse, client

Management/Leadership

Stephanie is passionate and committed to excel as a creative leader in all her endeavors.

"From the start of my employment, Stephanie has shown, by example and instruction, the exceptional capabilities to be flexible, find creative solutions, problem solve, and develop team members. She is self-motivated and takes the initiative to continually expand her skillset, while encouraging our entire department to do the same. She has shown us that it is imperative to stay current with our ever-evolving field, and to find ways to stay motivated and driven. Stephanie truly understands and exemplifies the ability to balance getting work done efficiently to appeal to clients while maintaining brand integrity. Her professionalism and ability to nurture creative drive has made Stephanie an absolute dream boss and mentor to me. Stephanie not only shines as an expert in her field, with technical aptitude and creativity, but she is remarkably empathetic and excels at communication. She has always shown that a positive, win-win solution is optimal and worth achieving when faced with conflict in the workplace. She is a strong leader because she can bridge the gap between understanding client and upper management priorities, while making subordinates feel supported and providing them with all the tools they need for success. I can’t imagine having a better example to learn from!" - Airrosti Creative Director

I couldn’t recommend Stephanie more to any business looking for a creative and organized professional to work with them.

"The tremendous growth I've seen on mobidlybeautiful.com, and the significant expansion of opportunities for contributors, is due to the access and connections that Stephanie has been able to nurture, and the work that she’s been able to inspire. This is due to a leader that is consistently professional, enthusiastic, and complimentary to her group." - Morbidly Beautiful Staff Writer

Stephanie is a brilliant designer and incredibly talented at everything she does, but what I admire most about her is her ability to lead, coach, support, and inspire her team.

“She continuously goes above and beyond for her team to make them feel supported in their role and is readily available when anyone needs her. I have always felt that she truly cares about not only the team’s success, but my individual success and personal growth, which is rare to find. In the years I’ve worked for Stephanie, she has shown nothing but kindness, compassion, and empathy, with a great understanding that the person is much more than the employee. As Vice President of Marketing at Airrosti, Stephanie has created a positive and collaborative environment by organizing team building events and employee recognition programs, making sure each person under her management is seen, heard, and shown the greatest appreciation.” - Airrosti Senior Graphic and Web Designer - Airrosti Senior Graphic and Web Designer

I genuinely think she is WONDER WOMAN!

“She is forever going above and beyond to make sure everyone on the team feels supported and appreciated on top of her never ending to-do list. There have been many challenges lately with resources, big new initiatives and constant deadline changes but Stephanie takes it all in stride and somehow continues to deliver AMAZING products and be an incredible person and boss.” - Airrosti Senior Project Manager

Steph always provides endless support for the entire Marketing team, and gives us so many tools needed to succeed and thrive.

She recommended courses that helped me grow as a copywriter and allowed me to be better equipped to tackle upcoming challenges and projects. I’m grateful to have a leader who supports our continued education and truly wants us to reach our full potential.” - Airrosti Copywriter/Content Manager

She’s proven her ability to take a difficult situation and turn it into a positive, with brilliant ideas about how to create more efficiencies and keep things running like a well-oiled machine.

G.O.A.T….Greatest of All Time!

“Working with Steph Malone is gift that I will miss dearly. Launching a new virtual product offering, building a new health plan member email program, developing our free assessments offering, and so many other initiatives has been a huge lift for so many people at Airrosti, but Steph has been responsible for some part of ALL of it. Messaging, visuals, cadence, consistency, congruency, and on and on. Steph has exhibited super hero level patience and tenacity despite getting bombarded with a tremendous number of projects often with conflicting messages, requests, and strategy, and a perpetual due date of ‘yesterday’. Then, add to that already impossible task a revolving door of opinions, suggestions, and direct orders regarding all the pieces of the puzzle. Most people would fold under the pressure or simply ‘get by’, yet Steph pushes forward and does everything with diligence and passion even if her expertise and own ideas conflict with the direction given. The suites of materials, videos, overall creative direction, and branding she has created and worked with the team to develop have been amazing (and effective!).” Former Airrosti VP of Sales

She is someone I wish to continue learning from so that I can become a leader and a mentor.

“Stephanie can be described in two ways. One being passionate; she wears her heart on her sleeve and puts so much effort into her work and the people she works with. She looks out for others and thinks outside the box to make sure the product being made has no competition. Another way to describe her is resourceful; she sees her teams' areas of expertise and leans on them to provide well rounded products, if for some reason there needs to be more research done, she is happy to do it because she will stop at nothing to make sure her deliverables carry the high standard, she holds herself to. The way she appreciates her team and keeps moral high is not something every manager does, and it will be extremely missed.” - Airrosti Project Manager

You cannot teach what Stephanie was born with, and that is great leadership skills and a pure heart.

"She is worth hiring because of the hard work, creativity, and dedication she will bring to any job. She is a delight to get to know and will always have your back when needed." - Airrosti Project Manager

Stephanie excels in marketing strategy, design, and mentorship.

"Stephanie fosters a collaborative team environment by sharing her wealth of knowledge and empowering her team through empathetic communication. Stephanie's mentoring approach drives growth and performance, making her a valuable asset in cultivating a strong and successful team." - Former Airrosti Senior Director of Strategy, Marketing

Working with Steph has been a joy!

"I am consistently impressed by her ability to lead by example and to always go the extra mile to make all teammates feel included and valued. Steph is organized, calm, consistent, and an excellent leader. She will be an invaluable asset to any team." - Airrosti Senior Digital Marketing Manager

Steph is one of the best, caring, supportive leaders I've had.

Her creativity is unmatched and the way she looks after and cares for her team is a joy and honor to be a part of. She always goes above and beyond for her team and always prioritizes finding ways to support her team in so many ways. I'm so grateful for how she would check in on our wellbeing and mental health. Her professional communication and work ethic is incredible. Thank you, Steph, for always believing in me, giving constant support, and being such an amazing leader." - Airrosti Social Media Manager

Strategy/Marketing

Stephanie has been incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging.

"She was happy to offer us tips and advice, guidance about appropriate email marketing platforms, and the grace to allow us to contact her again if we need assistance or constructive criticism concerning our process and graphic design. An understanding about just how small our organization is has been key to translating some of the work that these volunteers do for their enormous companies, and Stephanie has been right on target in terms of understanding our position and budget needs. I cannot recommend her enough!” Keara N., Nonprofit Social Media and Marketing Manager
