"I Can Offer..."

I am a corporate governance addict and life-long learner. Happy to offer discussions, workshops, and research opportunities.

A Fun Fact about Maria:

Thanks to my kid who is out of state college student, I get to write with her two agility dogs. They think I am very boring and take naps, but I think I am more creative when I write with them.
