Maria Thorpe was the HR manager for Konare Law when I met her. Maria is a great person and an excellent professional. She is open minded and performed her duties as HR manager flawlessly. I was able to communicate with her with confidence and she made sure that my concerns were addressed accordingly. Maria is energetic and just lights up the room when she makes her presence known. Maria is a dedicated individual that when she sets on achieving a goal, she makes sure she exceeds her own expectations. This is what makes Maria the professional she is today. If I had the opportunity to work with her again, I would. I am a better person and professional because of Maria. Any employer who hires Maria will be lucky to have her.

Ms. Thorpe was a mentee in our W2WM group. After completing the program, Ms. Thorpe created an alumni committee to work underneath our board. This committee allowed our organization to stay connected with women, mentors and mentees, who have completed our programs. She has organized various meet ups and group sessions to keep our alumni engaged. Her efforts have paid off, and her committee is still active to this day. Maria can be described as thoughtful, get it done attitude, and will always welcome you with a smile. She would be an asset to any non-profit or for profit organization.
