LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

Samantha Leaman, Senior Research Manager Former Manager @ Touchstone Research: It is my pleasure to recommend Liz Moraites.

Liz worked as an employee of mine at Touchstone Research for just under 5 years. I truly enjoyed the time spent working with Liz. She is a hard-worker, reliable, and also a true team player. In addition to all of that, she is a compassionate and friendly person with great communication skills, making it easy to work with her and integrate her into any time or project. During her time at Touchstone, I watched her grow from a junior employee into one of the most senior members on our team. In her day-to-day role, Liz was not only responsible for managing several full-service qualitative research projects, but also had a direct report that she was responsible for overseeing. Liz was able to tackle her workload, often shifting priorities as necessary and helping her team do so as well. With the often tight timelines that we were up against, Liz kept projects on time and budget, while also looking for ways to implement new programs/technology to streamline where possible. As you might imagine, this position required superior organizational and communication skills, which Liz not only demonstrated but excelled at and handled very gracefully; becoming a role model for others on the team. It is without a doubt that I think Liz would be a great addition to your organization. She is a hard worker, but in addition to that she is an all-around great person and pleasure. Please feel free to contact me at ad5pau@r.postjobfree.com if you would like to discuss Liz’s experience further, and I would be more than happy to do so.

Liz Williams, SVP of Custom Research, UX & Platforms Former Manager @ MarketCast Liz stands out because she is genuinely energized by the identification and implementation of smart, efficient operational approaches that benefit research quality and workflow. She has a great mind for the tools and ways of working that reinforce process consistency, and has the ability to marry that up with research goals. At the same time, she doesn't lean on continuity for continuity's sake; she's thoughtful about unpacking research requests in order to ensure that the right methodology to meet the ask is landed.

Tessa Pena, Research Manager Former colleague @ Touchstone & MarketCast I have had the pleasure of working with Liz at two different companies over the years. I can say she is wonderfully empathic and adaptable. She has excelled at working on detailed and lengthy custom research projects as well as agile and fast paced UX research. No matter the methodology, Liz has a deep understanding of the user and always showcases their voice in her findings
