Who is Maria For Real?

 Well… my last name is not For Real. But many people do think that. I come from the land where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, Oklahoma by way of Nicaragua where I was actually born. Latinx in the house! I started my career as an okay-ish copywriter which led me to my passion in production for the last 16 years. Producers are the crafters, the doers, the plan b-to-z-ers. Our job relies so much on making the creative not just come to life but also picking the right partner for that creative to live its best life. This was taught to me by my mentors on day one. I love producing because there is always something new to learn. Each job always presents new challenges that I like to approach with humor, resourcefulness, collaboration and fun. We spend so much of our lives at work, we might as well make it fun!

Feel free to drop me a line. Please be patient with my reply. I am getting nightly lessons from my 10 year old niece on how to use Tik Tok.
