Maria was an outstanding writer and editor for the student media program at the University of Hawaii. Those abilities — combined with an uplifting attitude and an infectious curiosity about the world — are why I recommended her for internships and graduate school. She remains an excellent writer and her range is visible in the work that she does for publications in the state.
