Maria is a Bay Area native passionate about helping individuals and organizations lead with their strengths. She completed her Bachelor's Degree at San Jose State University and later earned a Master's in Social Work with a specialization in Management and Leadership from the University of Michigan. While in Michigan, she began working with a well-known HIV/AIDS advocacy organization in Detroit, providing HIV testing and counseling to individuals and group therapy for people living with HIV/AIDS. After relocating back to the Bay Area, Maria began working at the macro level, providing training and capacity building services to community-based organizations and community clinics working in HIV prevention, care and treatment.
