"I was lucky to have Maria work with me on PR, communications and social media at several startup food companies. Always calm, cool, and collected, Maria offered the strategic thinking, creative energy, outstanding project management skills and excellent media network, I needed. Despite short deadlines or the craziness of a project, Maria’s fun energy and willingness to dive in, was amazing. She always got the job done with stellar results and a smile!"
