Maria is a force to be reckoned with, a jack of all trades if you will. She makes an impact on her local community by bringing people together, being a talented curator, putting together phenomenal events, booking talent and gaining sponsorships. She’s well organized and is a natural born leader. I’m amazed by all the wonderful things she does for the LGBTQ+ community as well, creating a safe space and making people feel loved and welcomed. I’m honored to have met and know this beautiful soul who I respect and appreciate, I can’t wait to see all the wonderful things she does in the upcoming future.

Maria is one of the most effective and driven individuals I have ever managed. She quickly understood onboarding and hit the ground running as a Senior Client Solutions Associate. Maria consistently goes above and beyond the task at hand, and was even a recognized as being a Top Recruiter for our business segment. She is proactive in communication, asking for feedback, ways to improve, and how to better align to business goals. It was a such a pleasure to work with Maria and see how quickly she progressed in her role!
