Maria has been a registered nurse for 25 years, and from 2011 she moved here in New Zealand from the Philippines to continue in the healthcare industry specializing in Renal Nursing. She’s backed with a Masters Degree in Education and a Post Graduate Certificate in Health Sciences from the University of Auckland. Maria performed many different nursing roles from bedside nursing to leadership roles as a preceptor and a Clinical Instructor.

She is the founder of the first and only non- profit organization about Tourette Syndrome in the Philippines. Since its inception in 2007 and widespread advocacy of Tourette Syndrome in the Philippines, Tourette syndrome has now been included in the Magna Carta for people with disabilities. Maria also did the first ever research about Tourette Syndrome in the Philippines with a self- made Tourette Syndrome Symptom Assessment Scale validated by the prestigious Stanford University and Louisiana State University in the USA including St. Lukes Hospital Movement Disorder Department.

The aforementioned achievements are true testament of Maria’s professionalism, structured working ethics, and compassion for people. These are excellent assets in the field of real estate where every house sold or bought is a reflection of relationships built, rapports made, and trust cultivated.
