Giselle Scasserra
Marketing Manager at Icarmandias
"Working with Hayley has been a privilege and a truly positive experience. She is not only a dependable and hardworking teammate but also someone who embodies a strong work ethic and a genuine desire to contribute meaningfully to the team.
​​
Hayley’s impact on our company has been nothing short of transformational. Without her, our company truly wouldn’t be as strong and organized as we are today. Her incredible organizational and management skills brought much-needed structure to our daily operations. She took the initiative to address areas that were once unclear or inefficient—dividing workspaces, organizing our creative files, and setting up "Monday" boards that completely changed how our team manages and tracks tasks.​
​
Because of Hayley, we now have a solid foundation that allows us to flow through creative projects with more clarity, focus, and collaboration. She created systems that not only work—but work for us. That level of insight and care is rare, and it’s something that’s made a lasting difference for our entire team.
​
​​​She also leads with clarity and kindness. Hayley is the kind of person who can communicate even complex ideas in a way that makes sense, and she’s always willing to help others without hesitation. Whether it’s jumping in to troubleshoot a problem, offering training, or simply being there to support someone, she does it with patience and grace.
​
​I can’t overstate how thankful I am to have worked alongside her. Without her abilities, our company would be lost. Hayley isn’t just a valuable coworker—she’s the kind of teammate who lifts everyone around her and helps create the kind of work environment people want to be part of."
Valentina Galvis Gutierrez
Media Coordinator at Icarmandias
"It’s an absolute pleasure to recommend Hayley Boreen—a standout professional whose impact on any team is both immediate and lasting.​​​ During our time working together, I witnessed Hayley's extraordinary ability to bring clarity and structure to complex systems. Whether she was creating training materials from scratch or walking someone through an impromptu onboarding session, she always knew how to make others feel confident, supported, and equipped to succeed. Her communication is not only clear and accurate, but also warm and thoughtful—qualities that made her a true go-to resource for both new team members and seasoned colleagues alike.
​
​Hayley’s organizational skills are unmatched. She anticipates team needs, builds streamlined workflows, and consistently finds smart, effective solutions tailored to specific challenges. From marketing strategy to system management, she demonstrates a deep understanding of both big-picture planning and day-to-day execution.
​
​What stands out most, however, is her calm and supportive leadership style. Hayley creates space for collaboration, encourages input, and somehow always manages to balance creativity with execution. Her presence alone elevates the culture of any workplace.
​
​Hayley would be an incredible asset to any team—not just for her technical and managerial skills, but for the positivity and professionalism she brings wherever she goes."
Diane Kiefer
VP of Advertising at Icarmandias
"Hayley is a gem. We worked together for over 2 years at a full service advertising agency, Icarmandias. At the time, we were in the process of migrating systems and Hayley played a key role in completely overhauling the way we worked - everything from creating new workflows down to small details, like how to name a file. ​
​
Hayley has the unique ability to see both the big and small picture at the same time. I also was constantly impressed by her listening skills - she became a sounding board for the company on any workflow issues and was dedicated to finding solutions that worked for all. She also is a wonderful teammate and all around great person. I would love the opportunity work with her again someday."

Claire Dowaschinski
Marketing Manager at Hazel's Beverage World
"While training with Hayley as marketing manager at Hazel's, I got to know how diligent, committed, and organized she is. We had limited time to train, yet she made the most out of it and put together a detailed training manual for everything we could not go over. She went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared going into a new position and she consistently does this through her relationships, work ethic, and career.
​
I feel very lucky to have worked with such a friendly person who has such extensive knowledge in marketing, media, and budget management as I am just starting. Hayley is a valuable asset to any company she worked with or will work with in the future and has the ability to positively improve their work environment and business altogether."
Bruce Dierking
Founder & General Manager at Hazel's Beverage World
"Hayley Boreen is one of those rare individuals who is incredibly talented, smart, dedicated, conscientious, hard-working, honest, and a complete delight to be around. I had the pleasure of working with Hayley for five years while she was our Marketing Manager at Hazel's. Hayley was terrific in that role, producing a huge amount of work for one person (she also pitched in with accounting, HR, and other tasks as needed), keeping all aspects of our marketing and communications organized, and managing our creative team very effectively. She came up with creative and practical ideas and did a great job of maximizing the effectiveness of our marketing budget. She has a tremendous eye for detail and often caught small errors or imperfections others had missed. The store's sales grew every year of Hayley's tenure in this job, and she managed this while consistently coming in under budget for her department.
​
In addition to Hayley doing a fabulous job running our marketing and PR for the store, she also became an indispensable member of our executive management team. I came to rely on her as a key advisor for major decisions and strategy, especially in terms of public perception and messaging and understanding how women and younger people might see something differently than I would. Hayley is no yes-woman--she was not afraid to tell me when she thought I was wrong, but she did so diplomatically, and once a decision was made, she was on board with implementing it even if I did not follow her advice.
​
Bottom line, Hayley is a uniquely amazing person who will be an incredible asset to any organization smart enough and lucky enough to hire her!"
Sue Hauser
Freelance Graphic Designer at Hazel's Beverage World
“It is with pleasure that I recommend Hayley Boreen in any Marketing [or] Design Manager Position she wishes to pursue. I worked along side Hayley as the contracted Graphic Designer for Hazel’s Beverage World from May 2017 through June of 2022. Hayley was incredibly professional in her communication, attention to [detail], knowledge of multiple medias, and overall ability to execute. ​
​
Hayley lead extremely well organized weekly marketing meetings, providing and overseeing/managing workflows, scheduling updates, events, outside contracts and collaborations with vendors, and in-store promotions. She was always on point, able to work through ambiguity while thinking ahead and happily providing her creative ideas, [impeccable] editing skills, and general enthusiasm to all related projects. Her positive attitude, clear leadership skills, creative abilities and technical skills provided a steady environment that was encouraging and straight forward. I sincerely hope that she will be considered as a highly valued creative asset for any future team.”
Sarah Sand
"I had the pleasure of working with Hayley Boreen at Hazel’s Beverage World for nine months until she moved on to pursue new opportunities. Hayley and I worked closely together on several tasks since many of her duties overlapped with the accounting and human resources functions of the store. We also collaborated on some high-level marketing activities. She was a great resource for me as I was training in my position at the store and I certainly benefited from her knowledge and expertise as well as her consistently approachable, calm, and enthusiastic demeanor. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hayley’s work ethic and character. Hayley has extensive technical knowledge in print, marketing, research, and project management. She also has great leadership skills. Hayley managed all day-to-day marketing functions of the store and ran the marketing department mostly on her own with limited input from other managers. She conducted weekly meetings with the rest of the marketing team, directed discussions and supervised the workflow of creatives. Among other responsibilities, she organized and facilitated store events, managed all print and online marketing and social media, and was the community liaison for the store.​
​
Hayley is an excellent collaborator and communicator. Her exceptional organizational skills combined with her sense of how to multitask and prioritize projects allows her to effectively communicate ideas and execute plans and strategies. She was always open to creative and constructive input from others and was skilled at incorporating those ideas to create the best product possible. Her creativity and ability to generate innovative ideas contributed to the growth of the store’s brand
and the success of several marketing campaigns that she helped launch and manage during her tenure at the store. There was no task she could not handle and she was always willing to take on new challenges. She truly is a jack-of-all-trades, always juggling a variety of projects and efficiently doing so when working independently or collaboratively either when given direction or when working [through] ambiguity.
​
Hayley has so much to offer and will be a great asset to any company that has the privilege of adding her to their team!"

​"I worked with Hayley for almost five years as a subcontracted videographer for her marketing department at Hazel's Beverage World. Hayley is a joy to work with. She has great vision for her marketing strategy. She communicates clearly, has intuitive insights, and creates a collaborative space for input and creative ideas from others. I enjoyed all the projects I was able to be a part of with Hayley and know that other people will enjoy working with her."
Fran Zankowski
Publisher at Boulder Weekly
​"Hayley and I worked together going on 6 years, ever since I arrived in Boulder in the summer of 2016. She has displayed a high level of professionalism in all our dealings, which have been many. Through these years we worked closely on creation of advertising materials, digital campaigns, and prior to COVID, some events. In all things, she met or beat some incredible demanding deadlines.
​
I had the great pleasure of working with Hayley as her knowledge about the business, the market, marketing, and new and evolving technologies is unsurpassed. On top of all this, her friendliness and attitude were deeply appreciated. Hayley is someone I feel very comfortable [giving] my highest level of recommendation."
Barbara Napiwocki
Senior Account Manager at Imagine
​"I worked directly with Hayley [...] on the same account for a year; Hayley is a great team player but also thrives working individually. She started on my team, as one of four and we soon became just us two assigned to a large client. She is a very quick study and strives for efficiency in every aspect of her job. Hayley is reliable and focused, always on time and ready to work. She is enthusiastic about her career, and I very much enjoyed working with her!"
