Malia is a phenomenally thoughtful colleague whose work during her summer internship at Heyday was invaluable in moving the ball forward on a number of title campaigns. Quick to learn systems, detail-oriented, and ready with creative and salient ideas, she is a highly valuable team member and we were delighted to have her at Heyday.
