Maria has worked at the Walker Art Center as a teen council member which consisted of working with other teens to help create spaces in which the youth of the Twin Cities could gather and be social while being creative. She has also assisted local artist, Leslie Barlow in an art workshop at the Metro Deaf school in St. Paul for children. She is very passionate about bringing the knowledge she has learned to class rooms to help children create art.
