Bio
Jill Weaver
I knew when I hired Maureen that she was smart and a skilled editor, writer and website project manager -- but I was delighted to find that she is a creative, self-motivated and full of great ideas. She is ready to pitch in and help wherever you need her, which is a huge plus in these budget-crunching times. She remains calm and good-humored under pressure and works exceedingly well with difficult people. Her work skills plus her people skills make for an unbeatable combination.
