Maria is currently pursuing a bachelor’s in Computer Science and Cybersecurity at UNB. Her interest in Future GNB began during her summer work placement in 2025 as a student researcher, where she conducted academic research on chronic school absenteeism in the province.

She values the program’s ability to connect students with real-world projects that foster both personal and professional development.
In her current role, Maria hopes to contribute to the Future GNB team by helping to improve the program, support its continued success, and continue to foster connections between students and government opportunities.
