Bio
Michele Benzamin-Miki
I have been a friend and colleague of Marie's for well over a decade now. She is an extremely talented and brilliant artist in many fields, from the visual arts, design, photography, graphics, to her writing skills, and translation of books and films. I have admired her quick and decisive way of working, along with a seemingly effortless and natural creative sensibility, and her resourcefulness and gift in problem solving with projects. She has also been an extremely loyal, sincere, fun loving and dependable friend, and I see in her great leadership skills with the right position and workplace environment.
Cynthia Anne Hale
We need more people in the world like Marie Velde. Her quiet energy is steady and she relates well to others. She is a good listener as well as being articulate and fluent in multiple languages. Marie is skilled at supporting others and collaborating with a team. At the same time, she is self-directed and works independently with a depth of knowledge and passion for exploring new topics. Marie is good at implementing ideas and her ongoing projects are creative and thought provoking. Marie’s abilities reflect a range of experience at work and in life that will continue to benefit an employer who values intelligence.
