Maria graduated from Pitt in 2017 with a B.A. in English Writing and in 2020 with an MEd in Higher Education Management. She studied and interned in London during her fall 2016 semester, and the experience had such a transformative effect on her life that she decided to pursue a career helping other students study abroad. Maria is currently a Marketing Coordinator at CEA CAPA Education Abroad, a study abroad provider organization. She is passionate about international education and the power of storytelling and is incredibly grateful for the opportunities Pitt has given her to engage with the global community.
