About MAria
Maria was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Maria inherited her mother's knack for social work and her father's love for education and community service. She's been pushing boundaries and breaking barriers ever since.
Maria's drive and determination led her to pursue a career in sports medicine and ultimately earn an “almost free” MBA from an elite private college in Washington DC. When faced with a serious health crisis while raising her three children, Maria dug deep and found a strength she never knew she had. This experience not only challenged her physically and mentally, but it led her to a decade of service in the rare and chronic disease community. Despite being out of the workforce for 12 years, Maria returned, serving in director roles for various non-profits before launching the Second Half Community to support people in living their best second half. Her driving force, service to others, has guided her throughout her life.
Maria is here to help you fast-track your career success and live your best life with joy, freedom, and abundance. Her story is an inspiration to anyone facing adversity, and her wisdom and guidance are sure to empower others to achieve their goals and overcome any obstacles in their way. So what are you waiting for?
