Maria has been with Donor Alliance in Colorado for 2 plus years and co-manages the Donor and Family Coordinators for Organs. She took a leap of faith and relocated from Florida after 32 years with LifeLink Foundation. While with LifeLink she was able to provide leadership to HD, Tissue Requestors, Organ Requestors and ME/FH liaisons. She helped build LifeLink of Puerto Rico in 1994 and further develop relationships with hospital partners, ME, FH, and the community. Maria was born in Cuba, raised in both Boston and Miami cities and lived in Tampa, Florida prior to moving to Denver, Colorado. Her mission is to “be kind, slow down, practice active listening and speak last to hear everyone first.”
