Colleagues describe her as "I highly recommend Maria Schell Hassid. While working with her at Project Avary, I was continually impressed with her ability to manage large projects, direct a wide range of staff, and connect deeply with the youth we served. Her skills go beyond the standard "Program Director". She has that rare combination of abilities that allow her to be extremely organized and manage large projects, while at the same time connecting authentically with all individuals and groups she interacts with. Youth and staf alike often turned to Maria for advice on work, as well as life. And she readily provided excellent guidance. Staff and youth at Avary are a diverse group of people, from children with an incarcerated parent to staff who are community activists and artists. Maria's view towards all she interacts with is evident in the care and respect she shows- transcending boundaries such as race and class. In addition to these excellent people skills, Maria was able to orchestrate a highly complex summer camp and year round program. From hiring to training and planning of activities to coordinating with community partners, she was able to do it all with grace and ease. One example of her excellence is that when she left her position at Avary, she created a highly detailed manual to ease the transition for the next team. She is not only oriented to solving current issues, she proactively prepares and plans for a successful future for all she interacts with. I am happy to provide any further information if needed." and "I served as Maria’s faculty advisor for the Integrated Management Project, a real-world consulting project which serves as the capstone of the UC Davis MBA. For this project, Maria led a team of 5 students whose client was an early stage digital health start-up. Although the client had a deep technical knowledge of their product’s potential, the company needed help forming a business strategy and understanding viable markets. Because the company was so young, the project had a variety of twist and turns which required Maria to pivot and refocus her team and the project multiple times. Despite these challenges and the complexity of the project, Maria was able to lead her team to deliver a product that was on par with many of the top-tier professional consultancy firm’s work I have encountered. Maria is a strong leader and an asset to any organization!"

Listed skills include Project Management, Staff Management, Staff Development, Staff Supervision, and 32 others.
