Maria currently resides in Staten Island, New York, with her two children, Daniel and Christina. She believes that no life is without meaning or purpose. In the midst of adversity, she has allowed the Lord to transform her over and over again. Only through His love and grace has she been able to heal moment by moment and piece by piece.

Maria recently started an exciting new chapter by publishing her newest book, Nobody Likes A Pest, a children’s book for ages 2-8. Maria is excited to see where this new book takes her next!
