I've played at this GM's table multiple times. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone is comfortable and feels safe/heard, and seeks player consent for things a lot of people wouldn't think to ask about (for instance, the man-handling of a PC by an NPC). Her story-telling is playful and interactive, but she touches on tough topics (trauma, violence, etc) with the grace and sensitivity that they deserve, and she is never willing to forsake a player's thoughts or actions for the sake of the story. Everyone gets their turn to play at her table, no player left behind. Her use of game enhancements (music, maps, visual effects, NPC icons) is something she takes very seriously and it shows - she uses all of these to the betterment of her story-telling, and it truly enhances the experience. With her "don't be afraid to try things" attitude towards both her GMing and player agency, she is a great choice for both beginner and experienced players. She truly loves the art of story-telling, and the way she crafts stories that weave PCs and NPCs together is a joy to witness. Also she does really interesting and funny voices :) I would recommend her to anyone that is looking to play a tabletop RPG and I will continue to support her at her table.
