Maria is an executive assistant, bringing 30 years of experience at a leading global law firm, where she supported senior executives and held key roles across legal, finance and HR. She's known for her judgment, discretion and steady command under pressure. A deeply competent operator, Maria brings clarity, resourcefulness and real leverage to high-trust environments.

Maria was raised in the Bay Area as one of seven siblings, part of a large, close-knit family that now includes 18 nieces and nephews. Her late mother, who immigrated from the Philippines, remains her greatest inspiration -- instilling in her the values of hard work, resilience and a deep appreciation for life. (A family fun fact: all six daughters were named Maria.)

Outside of work, Maria enjoys traveling (both with friends and solo) and exploring new coffee shops and unique foods.
