About Maria

As a Registered Nurse, Maria brings experience in healthcare delivery and end of life family caregiving. The spring of 2020 provided an unanticipated silver lining to COVID 19- the gift of dedicated time to make this qualitative research project ‘Cultivate Compassion: Self Kindness Counts’ a reality.

 Her debut work explores the essentials to boost compassion resiliency for both professional and family caregivers. When not immersed in thoughtful ventures or wanderlust, Maria can be found on her yoga mat, or blending green juice. She lives in Whitby, Ontario, with her family and is a very proud new Grandma to Henry.

2020 – such an unprecedented year.
