Maria spent fifteen years in pharmaceutical sales before trading boardrooms for bedtime stories during COVID. Also a former TV news journalist, she brings a knack for connecting with folks from every walk of life to her work as a children’s author.
Maria created the Duh Bruh series — CASEL-aligned graphic novels for grades 1-5 — after years spent volunteering in her children’s elementary school, watching up close how kids navigate the tricky world of childhood friendships and confidence.
Each book uses Maria’s proprietary S.O.A.R. framework (Situation, Ownership, Action, Result) to help kids name their feelings and work through real social challenges with confidence.
