About

Hello, my name is Maria, and I am a second-year graduate student at Regis University in Denver, Colorado. I am studying marriage and family therapy and am due to graduate in the spring of 2024. My passions include reading, writing, community organizing, exercising, and spending quality time with friends and family. I moved to Denver in 2020 from Cleveland, Ohio, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I genuinely enjoy my master's program, and I have made lifelong relationships with a plethora of people.
