“I worked with KayMaria on Greek Leaders. She was the writer and editor of the publication and I was the creative director/designer. We had an excellent collaboration. KayMaria is a great professional; focused, thorough and trustworthy. She has a deep understanding of publishing and excellent research skills. In addition, her positive attitude makes her a pleasure to work with!”
– Dionysis Livanis, Creative Director, Redhouse
“KayMaria's enthusiasm, reliability, communication skills, commitment to excellence, and professional demeanor are exceptional. KayMaria consistently demonstrated these qualities while serving as the editor-in-chief of our annual periodical, Greek Leaders, making working with her a complete joy. KayMaria's ability to assuage the concerns of worried clients is unparalleled. We were perpetually confident while working with KayMaria that we could send her into any room with any business leader or government minister and she would leave the client absolutely delighted with the experience of being interviewed by her. The multitasking and heavy work load KayMaria managed never seemed to overwhelm her; not once did she complain about any of the demands her role on our team made of her. A consummate team player, KayMaria stepped in whenever and wherever she was needed. She was just as effective and efficient working independently, though, juggling the needs of her team with her unwavering commitment to exceeding our clients' and our expectations. I regularly received unsolicited praise from clients commending KayMaria's outstanding level of service, warmth, rapport, professionalism, and follow-through. Organized and diligent, KayMaria worked with our project director, sales team, graphic design team, photographers, cover artists, and clients in a systematic and efficacious manner. She created structures where there were none, and yet adhered to the systems we had already in place when she joined the team. KayMaria is a hardworking, intellectual, creative individual and would make a valuable addition to any team, whether in the role of writer, editor, or educator. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
– Stephen Vasconcellos, Founder, Positive Impact Community
“I've worked with KayMaria for over six years in an educational setting. Among her many strengths are clear communication, thoughtful planning, deft group facilitation, and exemplary writing and editing skills. A supporting strength to all of these assets that she possesses is attentive listening – in any collaborative or service role, she is successful in meeting the needs and goals for herself, others, or the group because she has carefully heard and internalized what others have communicated. She is also just a pleasure to work with – amiable and empathic.”
– Scott Figgins, Program Director of Assessment, Accountability, and Analytics, Alameda County Office of Education
“KayMaria interviewed me for NEO Magazine in 2008, soon after my book Hope Is A Tattered Flag: Voices of Reason and Change for the Post-Bush Era was published. KayMaria was clear, respectful of my time, and equipped to conduct the interview. It was evident that she had read my book and done her homework in preparation for the interview; her questions were thoughtful and relevant. I was pleased with the process.”
