About Maria
I'm Maria
Born and raised in Brooklyn and now living in Valencia, Spain, I’ve spent my life navigating major transitions—from a 15-year career in tech leadership to fully stepping into my authentic identity. As a co-author in the Mujeres Rising anthology, speaker, and coach, I help people build grounded structures, navigate critical life pivots, and embrace who they are with confidence.
