An irrepressible entrepreneur, Maria entered the business world at age 14, landed on Wall Street at age 17, and shattered the glass ceiling at age 21. Fiercely determined and keenly insightful, she became a bond trader when female executives were as rare as pink diamonds. Maria spent the next 20 years streamlining corporate operations and generating profits for her employers. Her penchant for dispensing valuable advice became evident as she mentored other women, transforming secretaries into traders.
In 1998, brimming with over 25 years of business experience, Maria founded Elevating Your Business, a company dedicated to helping high-achieving women who own professional service businesses. Maria customizes solutions to detect and overcome each client's unique obstacles, helping them create the business and lifestyle they only imagined possible.
A life-long volunteer, Maria tutored first-graders at age 10, and has been recognized with numerous awards for her work with teenagers and protecting the environment. She currently holds memberships at Washington Distributive Education Clubs of America (WA DECA), Eagle Harbor UCC, Make Mine a Million, National Association of Female Executives (NAFE), Seattle Philanthropic Advisors Network (SPAN), Columbia Tower Business Club, and Women Business Advisors Alliance.
Maria is a very proud native NY'er who lives near Seattle, Washington. She is currently single and enjoys playing cards and games, gardening, attending the theater, driving around the country, attending concerts, or perusing hardware and office supply stores.
