TESTIMONIALS
Maria Farrah teaches a master class in media training. Staffers who have had the benefit of her classroom and one-on-one training sing her praises, as do I since she has shaved countless media prep hours off my schedule as a director of media relations. Maria has the unique ability to teach the policy wonks I work with how to effectively communicate their big ideas. She understands better than most the critical roles that journalists and subject experts play and how those roles intersect. Without exaggeration, she is without peer.

"As a Law Enforcement PIO I've responded to everything from officer involved shootings, automobile collisions, F 5 tournados, to the 2002 Bridge Collapse at Weber Falls, as well as the 1995 Murrah Bombing in Oklahoma City which resulted in international coverage. …I consider myself to be fairly versed and experienced as a communications professional. I say all of this not to boast of my position or experience but to lay the foundation for my credibility when I say that your presentation was truly outstanding!"
