  • "Maphrida took the time to truly understand our project. With her empathetic and humorous nature, she won everyone’s hearts. She has this incredible gift of connecting with people right away—authentic, super friendly, refreshingly easygoing, and never judgmental. She dedicates so much time and attention to individuals and really tuned in to me as the founder. Not only did she take the time to understand my values, but she also offered valuable advice when I felt unsure of my next steps. She has this unique ability to empathize with the anxiety that can come with organizing an event. Her warmth made everyone feel genuinely important. Her laughter and warmth, the way she steps into a room and instantly fills it with ease, will stay with me forever. Her openness and generosity in supporting our first steps with such empathy have profoundly influenced the future of our project and pushed us forward. For that, I am incredibly grateful. Anyone who gets the chance to work with her should consider themselves lucky!"
