Maria was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and then relocated to Dallas, where she attended the University of North Texas and graduated with a BA in Radio, TV and Film. Her love of music, and lack of ability to sing, dance or play instruments led her to radio, where she’s been for almost 30 years! She loves spending time with family, and volunteering at the animal shelter (she has two rescue dogs and one cat of her own). Maria loves collecting vintage Barbies from the 60’s and 70’s. Nostalgia is her thing!
