Maria is a passionate public speaking coach, content creator and entrepreneur on a mission to help individuals find their voice and communicate with confidence.

As a TEDx speaker, former TV host and UN communications consultant, she blends storytelling, strategy and authenticity to empower her clients.

After spending half a decade in front of the camera as an event moderator and television host in Canada and China, Maria refined her communication expertise as a consultant with the United Nations. It was during this time that she realized her true calling was to work more closely with people, sharing the insights she had gained from years of stage experience.

Inspired by her multicultural upbringing in a Colombian-Chinese home and her passion for storytelling, she works with non-native English speakers to build the confidence they need for impactful presentations and effective business communication.
