I’m Maria, a strategist, entrepreneur, and brand experience leader who transforms insights into measurable impact across health, tech, and creative sectors. I build content, community, and partnerships that drive growth and translate emotionally complex ideas into clear, actionable strategies.
My work centers on crafting strategies and narratives for regulated and emotionally nuanced industries. I’ve led cross-functional teams, partnerships, and ERG initiatives across both agency and client environments. Rooted in data-driven storytelling and hands-on execution, my approach delivers brand experiences that connect meaningfully and perform effectively.

Philotimo Life is a purpose-driven media platform and podcast that reframes how we talk about death, grief, and the human experience. What began as a personal project evolved into an internationally recognized series and educational resource that bridges emotional intelligence, communication, and culture.
As the writer, producer, and voice artist, I led the development of the brand strategy, creative direction, and content ecosystem — building a platform that transforms emotionally complex subjects into accessible, compelling conversations. I oversaw all aspects of production: guest curation, research, scripting, recording, post-production, and distribution.
Beyond the podcast, Philotimo Life expanded into workshops, speaking engagements, and partnerships that drive grief literacy and compassionate leadership in workplaces and communities. Through thoughtful storytelling and brand experience design, the project demonstrates my ability to build emotionally resonant, mission-aligned brands that create measurable social and cultural impact.
