Maria's passion to educate and nurture infants and toddlers as she assisted parents through parenthood, led to her co-developing programs to educate the community through The X LeVeL.  

 

With 14 years of Early Childhood Education, she spent 11 years as a director in the non profit sector, where she became a mentor and leader in the community.   

 

Along with a degree from The Florida State University (GO NOLES!!!), Maria is also a graduate of Leadership Winter Park Class ZVII, and holds several certifications in Early Childhood Development and Education.   She believes that with her strong Christian background she will be able to touch the hearts of many by providing an environment for someone to be heard, cared for, and loved, that reaches far beyond her voice and reach.
