Maura joined the team right out of college as an intern for Politis Communications (SOAR's sister agency) in early 2006. After hiring on full-time, she worked for both Politis Communications and SOAR Communications, splitting her time to successfully accomplish strategic communications goals for both organizations. Moving through the ranks, Maura is now an assistant account executive and works exclusively for SOAR Communications.

In her time with SOAR, Maura has gained media coverage for clients by coordinating product reviews, television programming and print coverage in media outlets such as Forbes.com, the Denver Post and numerous trade publications. In addition to her media placement efforts, Maura manages media registration for two of Neilsen Sports Group's trade shows including Interbike - North America's largest cycling event and the Health+Fitness Business Expo.

Prior to joining the SOAR team, Maura interned with Crosby-Volmer International Communications and the Rexburg Chamber of Commerce where she wrote and placed press releases, pitched local media, organized events and compiled client portfolios.

Maura earned a bachelor of science degree in Communications from Brigham Young University-Idaho. She enjoys hiking and camping throughout Utah with her husband Cole, family and friends.
