I had the pleasure of working with Maria on numerous interactive projects, ranging from online education initiatives to microsites to robust additions to our corporate website. In addition to turning projects around in a timely manner, she was adept at digesting and distilling complicated industry terminology and topics into user-friendly terms and concepts. Given the varied breadth and depth of our audiences, it was very important that the information successfully addressed the needs of the lowest common denominator.
I had tremendous respect and admiration for Maria while reporting to her for three years. A talented writer, editor, and creative lead, Maria also neither over- nor under-manages her team, offering direction and expertise when needed, while letting associates do their thing. She has a wealth of editorial and health care knowledge to call upon, and encourages a relaxed work environment with her wit and humor.
Maria brought not only a keen sense of the written word but also a remarkable ability to understand complex technical information and quickly tease out key aspects. Plus, her enthusiasm and sense of fun was infectious. The redesign of our website and collateral materials was a huge success mostly due to her skill and efforts.
