The professionalism and sophistication that Maria brings to everything she does is impressive to say the least. In a short period of time Maria was able to support our growth in a number of ways, namely around strategy, research and communications. She is a delight to work with and brings her A-game to everything she does. We were very fortunate to have Maria work with us over the summer of 2018 and are excited to watch her continue to excel!
