Colleagues describe her as "As Creative Director on the account Maureen has also worked on as Senior Project Manager, I’ve had a four-year daily exposure to a master practitioner of the PM arts—not to mention a singularly wonderful human being. Let me quickly add that a significant portion of what Maureen has done on a daily basis goes well beyond what a PM, senior or otherwise, is expected to do (she can give insightful creative feedback; think and talk strategically; understand clients and client styles and tastes; consistently ask the most penetrating and pertinent questions on an issue or project; and much more). As a creative, I can give you my experience and perspective regarding Maureen, which in sum is to say she has made my work life immeasurably better. From that, it’s clear she has similarly benefitted those she’s also worked with in account management, strategy, media, accounting, and on and on. Seriously smart and talented, she can bounce from time management and budgeting to massive-file management and intern training to voice-of-reason-in-the-midst-of-panic…and do it all calmly and clearly. She's also a world traveler, avid reader, erudite conversationalist...okay, I'll stop now.", "Maureen is the engine that keeps an extremely busy team on track and moving forward. I had the pleasure of working with Maureen for four years at Periscope while we built and managed the agency's largest and most productive team. As the senior project manager Maureen, and her team of project managers, shepherded 400+ projects per year from initiation through completion. Maureen also built the highly responsive project management group for our team. Every task, however unreasonable, Maureen managed with a calm, can-do approach that was infectious throughout our entire team. Maureen is the calm in our storm, a disciplined and thorough professional who has a deft hand at keeping everyone on task without being a taskmaster. A voracious reader and a global traveler with a wry sense of humor, Maureen is one of the most interesting people I've ever worked with. Every team needs someone at the center who keeps things moving forward, and no one I've worked with is better at this than Maureen.", and "I had the great honor of working alongside Maureen at Periscope as an associate project manager and I couldn't of asked for more thoughtful, smart and caring supervisor. Maureen's problem solving skills, strategic thinking and attention to detail is so evident in all of her work. But what makes Maureen even more than a great employee is her genuinely caring and kind-hearted personality, making her an even better coworker and supervisor. She actively listens and engages in all conversations, truly interested in other's ideas and opinions. She naturally elevates the people around her and wants to see those people succeed. Maureen is a true team player and is always willing to help whenever needed, with a smile and can-do attitude. Any company would be extremely fortunate to welcome Maureen to the team!"
