I'm an entrepreneur, author, and purpose coach based in Toledo, Ohio, and I help people recognize the value they already carry within themselves and turn it into opportunity, income, and a life they're excited to wake up to. Here's what has my attention right now.
Getting Passion, Profits, & Purpose into more hands
My dad Greg and I recently published Passion, Profits, & Purpose, a no-BS, practical guide to making money doing what you love. It shares the exact strategies we used to build thriving online income streams, and right now I'm focused on getting it in front of the people who keep telling themselves they have nothing worth selling. The biggest lie holding people back is thinking they aren't an expert, and I want to put a real blueprint in their hands instead.
Building out Making Money with Maria
Through my coaching program, Making Money with Maria, I help people turn their passions and skills into digital products, online courses, coaching offers, and membership communities that bring recurring revenue. A lot of my energy lately goes into showing people how to package what they already know into something that sells, build email systems that nurture relationships, and develop multiple income streams that support long-term stability. No get-rich-quick schemes, just clarity, strategy, and taking the first step.
Culture work in health care
By day I serve as an Associate Relations Manager at Bon Secours Mercy Health, one of the nation's largest Catholic health care systems, where I support associates, leaders, and teams in building a workplace grounded in compassion, accountability, and excellence. I've seen firsthand how strong relationships and a healthy culture can change lives, and that belief shapes everything I do, on and off the clock.
If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to connect. You can find me on LinkedIn.
