Maria is a true professional. I got to know her at the University of Michigan as we both participated in the Knight-Wallace Fellowship. She is a terrific journalist who is informed, curious, inquisitive, asks smart thoughtful questions and looks at issues with an open mind. As a Fellow she couldn’t have been better. She cared for her colleagues and added an insight and perspective to our experience that made for a better fellowship. Maria has the skill set, talent and energy to be a terrific leader in anyone's newsroom.

He sido testigo de cómo su desempeño como estudiante, como reportera y como editora en medios de comunicación le han hecho merecedora de altas calificaciones y reconocimientos en todos los ámbitos. También como maestra universitaria ha servido de modelo para sus estudiantes, en torno al ejercicio de un periodismo cuyo único compromiso es con los hechos y la verdad. Realmente se trata de una profesional admirable.
