Hello, I’m Maria
About Me: Partnering for Impact
I’ve spent over 15 years working with community-based nonprofits, supporting everything from start-up initiatives to program management and volunteer coordination. My experience includes collaborating with schools, families, and community partners to design curriculum, facilitate groups, plan events, and deliver trainings.
With a background in social work and graphic design, I bring both a people-centered approach and the ability to communicate ideas creatively.
I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including at-risk youth, women and children, families, and individuals navigating mental health challenges, crisis intervention, alternative education, and environmental programs.
My approach is both practical and intuitive. I partner closely with leaders to bring their vision to life and ensure programs meet the real needs of the communities they serve.
My Approach
Grounded in Connection
I believe strong programs start with strong relationships. For every client, I take time to understand their mission, the services they provide, and the communities they serve. Real solutions come from listening closely and building on the needs and strengths that already exist.
Clear and Compelling Communication
Nonprofits do important work, but if the message is not clear it can get lost. I help organizations craft communications that raise awareness, inspire action, and build lasting support.
Practical and Creative Solutions
With a background in social work and design, I bring both people-centered insight and creative problem-solving. Whether designing a program, coordinating volunteers, or building outreach strategies, I focus on solutions that are effective and sustainable.
Partnership for Impact
I see my role as a partner. I work alongside leaders to bring their vision to life and ensure it makes a real difference in their community.

Fresh Ideas and a Spark of Energy
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Maria at a Northville-based nonprofit on a number of different projects. Maria continuously went beyond her scope of work and thoughtfully provided ideas to enhance our organization. She followed up on agreed-upon plans and offered insight drawn from her history of working with smaller organizations. Maria wore many hats and tackled tasks with enthusiasm. I highly recommend Maria if you are looking for fresh ideas and a spark of energy.” - Mike K.
