As an avid volunteer, Maria believes in the power of community engagement and connection. She hopes to inspire and empower more people to get to know their neighbours and get involved in Waterloo Region!

On an average week, you can find Maria studying (and drinking several iced americanos) at Holly's Neighbourhood Cafe, taking a heels class at Underdog Dance, or hiking the Trans Canada Trail.
