Through her work, Maria seeks to never stop learning and to help others do the same by demystifying complex ideas and advocating for plain language writing.

I had the privilege to be supported by the close-knit community of faculty, staff, and students at Glendon. In their own ways, they each connected me with rich, cross-campus resources like seminars, extracurriculars, and professional networks. In particular, the professors in the English and Professional Writing departments across 91ÑÇÉ« offered unrivalled professional and academic guidance that ultimately allowed me to build a rich portfolio, pursue graduate school, and develop practical skills I use in the workplace even today.
