“I had the opportunity to work with Maria during my time at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center. Even though we were not in the same department, we collaborated to see how we could create content for our recruiting efforts from a HR perspective. Not only was Maria very patient with my HR requests, but she was able to create the vision, make it relatable and make it come to life.

“Maria constantly brought creativity and a strong understanding of brand voice to her work. Although I have moved on from the AMC, I still enjoy seeing the social media content that she puts out, and I will say that she hands down has the ability to balance engagement and professionalism which makes her a valuable asset.”

— Tina Ravindran-Nair, SHRM-CP, Human Resources Manager, Cornell University Veterinary Specialists

“Maria is a creative and talented graphic designer who produced artwork for national brands at Amici Accessories. I could always count on Maria to work at a fast pace while maintaining a high quality standard of design that would meet and exceed the expectations of our clients. Her strong sense of color, layout and shape, as well as her technical proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, were truly valuable assets to our company. It was a pleasure to have Maria on our team over the course of several years and I would recommend her highly!”
— James Dunn, Former Owner, Amici Accessories

“As an all-volunteer organization, we depend on reliable volunteers, and Maria has been one of the best. As our design coordinator, her main responsibility has been to design all of BAA’s graphic presentation, and she has done (and continues to do) a beautiful job. While in Brooklyn, she also coordinated our team of volunteer photographers and helped to maintain BAA’s social media presence.

“In addition, she fostered rescued animals, helped members of the community spay and neuter neighborhood cats, and volunteered at adoption events. She was also very much involved in organizing BAA’s fundraising events. Maria’s willingness to involve herself in so many aspects of our non-profit was immensely helpful to us.

“She could always be relied upon to do what she promised and to get the necessary work done, often without even being asked. Most impressively of all, Maria did all this with unflappable good humor and patience.”
— Belinda Cooper, President, Brooklyn Animal Action

“As an Account Executive, I had the pleasure of working with Maria in her role as graphic designer for many years. She quickly understood the needs and aesthetic of my clients and it was easy to collaborate with her to produce artwork that they loved. I genuinely enjoyed working with someone as enthusiastic, reliable and creative as Maria.”
