I had the pleasure of working very closely with Maria over the last year. Maria was our consultant for a Business Intelligence tool called Yellowfin. Maria is truly a Subject Matter Expert on Business Intelligence tools, SQL, creating data visualizations and problem solving. Maria is an absolute machine who works well under pressure and delivers/exceeds expected outcomes. Without Maria's expertise and work ethic, I do not believe we would have been able to figure out Yellowfin.
