Nonprofit Work
Growing up as the oldest child of an award-winning restaurateur, Maria unexpectedly became a daughter of the incarcerated. This experience ignited an interest in working forĀ Get on the Bus, a non-profit in California dedicated to uniting children with their incarcerated parents.Ā Maria credits Get on the Bus for helping her to find her voice.
Maria is currently a grant writer and as she puts it āwhatever else is neededā for St. Paulās Development Corporation in Paterson, NJ,Ā an organization that helps thousands of individuals a year with āa hand-up, not a hand out.āĀ Maria worked on both coasts for nonprofit organizations that give voice and equity to the marginalized members of society.
