Maria feels so lucky to work in a job that she truly loves. She strives to help every child and teen on her caseload recover from injury and return to sport as quickly and safely as possible. Her journey to specializing in pediatrics started in Ireland where she graduated from the University of Ulster in 2012. She spent 5 years working in sports injury and occupational injuries with adults. Taking this experience from sport and adult care into her paediatric caseload has only benefited her practice. Maria is passionate about concussion education and prevention, she places an emphasis on empowering families and children on every step of the journey to recovery.
