Maria's Story

Raised in New Jersey, Maria remembers always loving to be on stage or in front of the camera, singing and dancing, recording herself on her father’s camcorder, and vlogging from a young age. 

​

Maria remembers seeing WBFF competitors on Instagram and “instantly realizing” fitness modeling was something she wanted to pursue. After graduating from high school in 2015, she began competing in bikini bodybuilding events and making a name for herself in the field. Recently, she earned her WBFF Pro Title and is slated to begin competing on a Pro level.

“I’ve combined my passions with my career, so it’s not really a job to me,” says Maria. “From a young age, practicing sports and eating healthy have both been very important to me.”
