"Maura is an incredibly talented journalist who approaches each story with enthusiasm. A dedicated researcher with a genuine interest in what her interviewees have to say, she develops well-reported stories featuring sources that come to life. She also has a deep knowledge of how higher education works and what alumni want to read. Maura is what every editor hopes for — a writer who doesn't need to be edited."

“Maura is one of my most trusted go-to writers. I can always count on her to turn around an engaging, well-written story, even on a tight deadline. She’s dedicated to always getting the best story possible and is a real pleasure to work with — the kind of writer who makes my job as an editor easier.”

"Maura is a wonderful editor, writer, collaborator, save-writers-from-their-worst-selves wizard, idea-generator, and general all-around good human. She's the sort of editor who unfailingly offers praise and bolsters morale, but also the sort of editor who is kindly candid when narrative changes are needed. When she assigned me features for Holy Cross Magazine, she didn't just offer a fuzzy topic and scant direction (as some editors do); she offered key insights that helped me shape the story from the get-go. Maura also lives up to my ideal of a text-sensitive editor: she cuts and tweaks prose when necessary, but never siphons out the flavor. It's the writer in her that makes her such a good editor, I think, and vice versa. Work with Maura: You'll be happy you did, and you'll have serious fun along the way."
