Wendy Everett, ABU Director News

I had the pleasure to meet Maria and it exceeded my expectations for her fantastic moderating skills during a high-level forum on Sustainable Development that was co-organised by the United Nations and the government of Azerbaijan in Baku. Maria was assertive in interacting with high-level delegates including her respect for protocol and rightly putting subject matter for discussion in an easy to understand manner.
Delawar Barekzai, United Nations Senior SDG Advisor

Whether Maria moderates a session with 4-5 participants or she holds one-on-one talks and discussions, she always keeps the debate alive, captures the attention of the audience as well as bringing joy to the Forum.
