Maria is as reliable a person as I have ever met. She works with a well-rooted level of integrity and she is honest in all aspects of her life. Maria holds herself accountable and leads others from the front. Maria is compassionate, empathetic, and organized. She is proactive and gets well ahead of potential issues in most cases. When the unpreventable and unforeseen issues do arise she is decisive, flexible, and patient all at once. I have worked as a direct supervisor of Maria in a university admission office and within 6 weeks (more quickly than any other supervisee I worked with in 10 years) she supervised a small team of student-employees. Maria has a special talent in preparing for and running a meeting and has the ability to allow all participants to be heard and contribute. She is inspiring! I would recommend Maria without hesitation! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or if I could help further in anyway! Thank you! Joe Romano jromano@bcp.org 650-291-7548

Maria Zontine is a highly skilled HR leader who is extremely conscientious and thoughtful in her work. She is a trusted manager of people and resources, a collaborator in process development and team structure, and a leader within our organization. Maria asks the right questions and listens to what she hears. Then she quickly prioritizes and tactfully resolves issues that others could spend hours or days on. I worked with Maria as a peer manager in the UW School of Medicine Shared Services Center. I watched time and again how she motivated her staff, filled the gaps of process, expertly managed relationships and drove the program forward. Maria is an outstanding person to work with and to know.
