About
Hi. I’m Maria. ✨
I’m a career coach, a counselor, a yoga teacher, a sound healer, a theater kid, and someone who spent years in higher education feeling like I had to turn the volume down on who I actually am.
Then I went to Burning Man. And I realized: oh. I can be all of me. The expressive, creative, loud parts. The quiet, deep-listening, counselor parts. The spiritual parts and the spreadsheet parts. All of it. At the same time.
That’s what I want for you.
The Experience
I have a Master’s in Counseling and a background in psychology and theater—which means I was trained to listen deeply AND to tell a good story. That combination has been the foundation of everything I do.
Over 20 years, I’ve coached thousands of individuals across every industry, from every part of the world. I’ve heard thousands of stories. And what I’ve learned is: the people who find work they love all have one thing in common. They stopped looking for the right job and started building the right project.
Right now, I lead a team of 20 career coaches helping people break into and thrive in tech. I’ve spent years in the edtech space—building, advising, and getting my hands into the work. I know this landscape from the inside. And I know what AI can do for you (and what it can’t).
The Beliefs
I believe this is a matrix. I believe AI is here and you better get right with it. I believe everything is vibration and your career has a frequency. I believe the number 108 is sacred and that alignment is real—not in a crystals-on-Etsy way, but in a physics-and-consciousness way.
I also believe in resumes that don’t suck, LinkedIn profiles that sound like a human wrote them, and showing up to interviews so prepared you almost feel sorry for the other candidates.
Both are true. Both matter. That’s the 108 way.
Closing
If any of this sounds like your kind of thing—or if you read it and felt something shift—drop me a line. I read every message. I respond to every one.
