Maria is an expert in health and wellness communications. Because of my news writing background, Maria and I know many of the same people in media. Frequently, I have sought advice from Maria for my media and writing projects. I am always enthusiastic about hearing her vision, passion, and knowledge concerning media, especially her health and wellness projects. Health and wellness are vital areas that weren't really discussed in media even ten years ago, at least not to the degree they are now. Back then, Maria was ahead of the curve in her reporting. She continues to be forward-thinking in her research, reporting, and conception of new story ideas. The abundance of conflicting information is leading to confusion and incomplete information in the media. Maria's mission is to clarify that information for her clients, viewers, and audiences.
Source: LinkedIn David Krell, Esq. Nov 15, 2014Maria is a social entrepreneur who contributes her passion and talent to causes that benefit others. I have know her for years and share a lot of mutual interests in trying to be force of positive change.
Source: LinkedIn Barry Miller Nov 15, 2014Maria is one of the most generous people I know. I was a stranger to her, yet she mentored me in the craft of TV scriptwriting. It is because of Maria that I landed my first job writing health segments for Discovery Health TV. Maria is a giant talent with enormous integrity. She delivers news stories that are always accurate, always compelling. I highly recommend her.
Source: LinkedIn Idelle Davidson Nov 15, 2014Maria is a terrific marketing and strategic media whiz. I have worked with her on several projects, she is professional and gets results for clients . I would reccomend Maria for any project she brings a wealth of expertise to the table.
Source: LinkedIn Elisa Keys Nov 15, 2014Maria is a wonderful and creative writer and producer. She starts a project and works to make sure it executed perfectly. I've worked with Maria for years and she continues to amaze (and delight) me in how she makes TV magic. Many producers are high strung and difficult to work with. Maria makes working with her easy. She makes the work easy!
Source: LinkedIn Mark Alyn Nov 15, 2014I have worked with Maria in a number of different professional collaborations and each time she's exceeded my expectations. Her dedication to excellence and production expertise makes her one of the most formitable media professionals I have ever worked with. In addition, she makes work a whole lot of fun.
I would not hesitate to recommend Maria to any organization.
