Maya joined our team as a junior researcher when we needed additional support during production. Our series is a landmark, blue-chip natural history series for a big SVOD and we needed thorough research and out-of-the-box thinking. Maya delivered in every way. She has an incredible work ethic and does not quit until the job is complete...and then she throws a few cherries on top! She has an exceptional ability to dissect complicated science journals and understands what will make a compelling story for a TV audience. Her research is incredibly thorough and, if Maya is on the case, you know that no stone has been left unturned. She also has solid connections within the scientific community which proved useful to us and her positive attitude and energy always lifted the team around her. I would recommend her highly to any production looking for a fantastic researcher.
