Back then it was called a diary. In the sixth grade she was introduced to haiku and later started writing poetry. Maria does occasional open-mic poetry readings around New York City, where vibes can be explosive and ecstatic, and where she has had the opportunity of making wonderful friends. She went to Woodbury University in Los Angles and The New York School of Interior Design. She enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, cooking, reading a good novel, shopping for jewelry and interior decorating items, and traveling abroad.view less
