Originally from Pukekohe, Maria moved to Matamata in 2005 raising her two daughters from kindergarten through to college. She now considers this her home town and has loved becoming part of the local community through various groups and committees over the years.

She began work in the Real Estate industry in 2017, initially as a personal assistant, then joining the team at LJ Hooker midway through 2019 as the Business Systems Operator.

Maria is thoroughly enjoying her role within the team and continues to learn more about this exciting and fast moving industry.
