Maria was born in Sevilla, the capital of Andalusia (in Spain), where orange trees blossom in spring, leaving an amazing smell in the air. After working in different educational and bilingual exchange programs as a coordinator, she moved to Sydney to finish her Media & Communications degree at the University of Sydney as an international student. Maria fell in love with Sydney and the Australian way of life. She decided to complete her qualifications with a double master’s at Macquarie University, where she specialized in International Relations and Translations. In her free time you can find Maria exploring trendy restaurants, reading a book at Coogee Beach, hiking around Sydney or drinking a cup of tea (almond chai latte is always the chosen one).
