Before graduate school, Maria worked on The Fletcher School at Tufts University’s mid-career Global Master of Arts Program (GMAP) and in its Office of Executive Education. Previously, she supported faculty-led study abroad programs at the international education non-profit CIEE; taught high school English in Sicily on a Fulbright grant; and worked in Jerusalem for the NGO Seeds of Peace, where she coordinated workshops and fellowships for educators from the Middle East, South Asia, and the United States.
