Bio
Zouhar Evans
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Maria over the past year. Her ability to overcome challenges with a smile shows the type of person she is in the work environment. Maria’s ability to manage multiple projects displays her organisation & time management skills. Plus, she easily adjusts to any given situation or business dynamics. But what makes her stand out is her willingness to help others. Any company would be lucky to have Maria.

From Maria, I have learnt good time management, proficient planning, people skills and problem solving. Maria is an asset to any team.
