About Maria

Hi Folks,

I served 4 years in the United States Army as a medic. I used the Montgomery G.I Bill to earn a Communications degree and I'm currently working at a community college helping Veterans figure out how to best maximize their education benefits. I also help with connecting them to Vet Resources in Chicago. I'm here to help answer any questions you have about going back to school, utilizing your benefits, and resources in Chicago. If I can't answer it, I'd be more than happy to connect you to the people who can.
