Bio
Danelle Sarvas
During my time at Cone, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely with Maureen on several campaigns, learning from her years of exceptional experience in the media relations industry. Maureen is one of the most talented, dedicated media relations expert I've ever encountered. She is genuine and passionate for all her clients and extremely dedicated to providing the best client service possible. Additionally, Maureen is a great leader always taking the time to teach others and support her team. She is fantastic at building relationships, managing above and below within an organization, as well as with her clients. Maureen's ability to work on multiple campaigns while maintaining the utmost integrity for each is a true testament of her professionalism. I would highly recommend Maureen to any organization where she could maximize her leadership attributes, as well as her meticulous project management and client service skills.
Josette Thompson (she/her)
I learned a lot about media relations from Maureen who is unbelievably creative and stellar at making connections with journalists to sell a story. As a a manager she helped me tap into my creativity and hone basic skills. As a mentor she helped me become more disciplined in setting goals for myself career-wise, and she was also an all-around great person to work with.
