The whole process of working with Sunshine was smooth. I booked her through ig and she asked me to fill in a form. On the day of shoot, she came up with different ideas on how to execute it. She made sure every spot was used at the location we shot at. Overall I’m really satisfied with her work. -

I’m the Host and Founder of The Safe Room Podcast. I reached out to Sunshine to help me film a promo video for my first podcast workshop teaching community residents in North York podcasting skills. We had great communication between each other and Sunshine was great in helping bring my vision to reality. The brainstorming sessions were excellent, I had enough freedom to share what I wanted, and she provided great advice when there was any issue during the production process. The promo video came out excellent and has gained lots of traction within the first 24 hours with over 1,000 plays on Instagram. I couldn’t be more happy to see the response and I have Sunshine’s incredible drive and videography skills to thank. -

I am grateful to have had the chance to work with Sunshine. She was a mentor for me when I started at Rogers two years ago, teaching me a lot and helping me gain the confidence to excel at the job. Sunshine was the glue for the team at Promenade Mall. She kept us all focused on one goal and was always there whenever we needed help. Some people have this unique ability to motivate others and help them find it within themselves to believe in their abilities and strive for greatness. This is the type of person Sunshine is, she loved to take the time out of her incredibly busy schedule to talk with me about what I wanted for myself in our job and even past that. If you get the chance to work with Sunshine, you will not regret it because she's going to put her best effort into helping you and your company grow.

It was a pleasure to work with OTR to upgrade my website. I had a great deal to learn and Sunshine was very patient in educating me and providing options. Throughout the process, I felt well informed and that OTR had my best interests at heart. Thank you to OTR for the help and looking forward to working with the Team again in the future. -

Working with Sunshine gave me insight to what my capabilities are as a poet and a perspective to how my poetry can help other youth who have been through similar hardships through our conversations hosted by her on the Connect Media podcast. Also allocated the different media platforms I can publicly share my art online (e.g. tumblr) -

Working with sunshine always leaves me feeling better. She is one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. Sunshine always tries to meet people where they’re at, and has a true passion for the work she does. If everyone gave a hoot as much as sunshine did, the world would be a better, more positive place.
