"There are many talented people on Upwork, but once in a while you find a real gem. Maria is one of those. She didn’t just deliver what I asked; she vastly improved upon it. It was clear to me that she felt a sense of pride and ownership of the project, and this shone through in her work. Maria is professional, reliable, responsive, articulate, flexible, highly intelligent…the list goes on. She has been a joy to work with and will be at the top of my list for future projects."
