Maria grew up in West Palm Beach and moved to Cedar Key in February 2013, having had a midlife revelation that she was happiest in the water, in a swimsuit, and on boats. Fortunately, in March 2014, she was hired as the full-time Education and Outreach programs coordinator for the Seahorse Key Marine Laboratory and gets paid to go on boats to the ‘office.’ Maria is trained as a medical oncologist and spent 10 years working at the National Institutes of Health outside Washington, DC.
