Maria has had a long flirtation with her passion for writing since childhood. She truly enjoys sharing imagery in a creative capacity through words and photography. When she isn’t furiously typing away at a screen, or clicking happily at a shutter, you can find Maria on the beach soaking up the San Diego sunshine, sipping wine with friends, or making the most of her adventures with her little family somewhere in East County. Maria is happily married and the mother of one daughter and one furbaby.
