Maria is a natural speaker who captures her audience with creative activities. She was a guest speaker for my journalism classes and was always able to keep a class of 25 8th graders engaged! Her passion for making others feel comfortable during her creative workshops allows the audience to be themselves. When they least expect it, they let down their guard and are able to become spontaneous. This is the dopamine fix that everyone is talking about. You feel good when you leave her workshop, and you can bet the participants have a smile on their face!
