Bio
Caroline Jones
I learnt so much during my time working with Maura. She is a fantastic sounding board and extremely approachable. She made it her business to take the time to check in on each and every team member, no matter how busy she was, which was greatly appreciated. She always brought ideas to the table when a challenging situation arose and would make sure she was available for key meetings. The team looked forward to her input and her refreshing take on things. Maura also has an uncanny ability to remember key dates (like birthdays or work anniversaries), which reflects her caring personality!
Simran Savlani
Maura was a dream boss to work with. I learnt some of my best work lessons from her. She looked at every issue in a holistic manner and motivated me always to work better. She gave me a space to achieve my goals and yet be able to learn from my mistakes. She has shaped my career in a way I can't express through words and I will always be grateful for her to give me a chance at Sassy Media Group.
