"I met with Mary Scott as a networking colleague for a half an hour and I was blown away. She's an idea person, without a doubt, and she can see business opportunities and niches where other people may or may not be able to. She's a very creative person, so I highly recommend that you speak to her about your business."

Mary brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the table, in addition to how professional she is with her equipment, set up and preparation. She gave us everything she had to create the most important video we've ever had."
