Maria is a first generation college grad with a degree in Sociology from Wellesley College. During her time at Wellesley, she organized with her peers for more supports for students of color. Since then, she's understood that oppression in academia and oppression in education and at the local level are linked. Because of this, she has dedicated herself to organizing with youth and challenging the school to prison pipeline. In her free time she likes to go on walks with her dog, Luca Brasi, cook, paint, and is learning how to play her favorite instrument- the accordion.
