"Maya fast became one of my go-to freelancers. Whether it's a story she
pitched or one I've assigned, she does a stellar job of tracking down sources
and delivering lively, clean copy -- and when extra elements like photos are
needed to round out a story package, Maya quickly dives in to help us pull it
all together." --Stacy Cowley, small business editor, CNNMoney.com "Maya is very responsive and eager to execute stories properly. She doesn't just look for point-by-point instruction but jumps right in and does research and reporting to make sure we were taking the appropriate angle and the pieces are being developed accurately. In addition to meeting deadlines, she makes herself available in order to thoroughly address additional queries and concerns from myself and the other editors." -- Tennille Robinson, small business editor, Black Enterprise “I’ve worked with Maya on more than ten projects over the past two years. She is extraordinarily detail-oriented, prompt, and communicative—a pleasure to work with. Her writing is clean, clear, and informative, and typically needs very little if any editing. And if I ever happen to ask for clarification or additional material, she responds right away and very helpfully. I would recommend her for any project in which quality and punctuality are important.” -- Matt Blanchard, former senior editor, Barnes & Noble Publishing “When I assign a story, regardless of subject, to Maya, I know I'm going to get something before deadline that requires little editing and is on point. On the rare occasion when editing is required, Maya is open to suggestions and reworking a story as necessary. She is also always enthusiastic and never delivers an excuse instead of a story.” -- Jeff Stacklin, former online editor, Crain’s Cleveland Business “Maya is an extremely talented journalist who has that rare ability to take complicated assignments, get to the right sources and report the necessary information within the framework of stories that are written clearly and concisely. I can always count on her to meet deadlines with finished pieces of the highest quality.” -- Deborah Silver, former senior editor, Forward magazine “Maya's work ethic shows in the stories she writes for us. They are sourced well, properly organized and easy to edit. She makes my job easier.” -- Richard Breen, editor, GSA Business "Maya's writing style is engaging and concise. She interprets and follows guidelines expertly, delivers articles on or before her deadlines, and turns in extremely clean copy that can, in most cases, go straight to print. I love that I can request her help on an assignment and not have to worry that the end product will be off the mark, late, or sloppy." -- Adrinda Kelly, former senior editor, The Princeton Review "Maya is very intelligent and synthesizes complex information quickly. She perseveres and keeps digging for the needed information and isn't timid about trying different sources--all essential attributes for a good reporter." -- Judith Crown, former senior editor, Forward Magazine
"Maya is easy to work with and I know
anything assigned to her will come back in the highest quality - she has
surprised me a number of times with her efficiency and grasp of business
information and reporting." -- Jordana Megonigal, former editor, Greenville
