Jason Hudson

I have worked with Maria on many different levels over the past decade in the security field in Las Vegas, and while serving as the President of the Las Vegas Security Chief's Association Board of Directors. We have also previously worked together on several community volunteering projects with LVMPD and she is very supportive to giving back to her community. Maria is an expert in many fields, and has played a pivotal role in improving many companies security, safety and traffic control programs. She is always professional, open and passionate in what she does. In her current role, she has become a leader in the traffic control industry. Any company would benefit in having her on their team. I have the privilege of calling her a peer and friend.

Maria is a progressive leader who achieves maximum productivity and efficiency through superior leadership skills. I have personally witnessed her leading her team from the field rather than locked away in her office. Her vision, detailed planning, flawless execution, and strong communication skills sets her apart from her peers in the industry. Maria is an invaluable asset to any organization she is associated with and one I would never hesitate to recommend.
