Maria was born in Colombia and moved to Calgary where she was raised. She grew up with a love of sports and maintains an active lifestyle through activities such as cycling, HIIT classes, and hiking. Her experiences volunteering at the YMCA inspired her to pursue an education focused on helping people maintain an active lifestyle. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of Calgary and a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Alberta.  

Due to her own experiences with rehabilitation, Maria understands the role that injury can play in impacting an individual's activities of daily living and hobbies that they love.
