Pastor Maria was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she completed her early education through high school. She accepted Christ and was filled with the Holy Spirit at an early age. Her dedication to her faith led her to serve at Temple of Hope International Ministries in various capacities, including praise and worship leader, teacher, preacher, administrator, event planner, and armor bearer.

​

Pastor Maria is  the proud mother of four daughters: Nia, Miracle, Judah, and Ce’Ara.

​

In 2019, Pastor Maria founded The BlewPrint based on a vision given to her by God. She has worked diligently to develop and bring to life what God has entrusted to her.

​

Pastor Maria is very nurturing, has a heart to serve, and is gifted in administration and leadership. She works bi-vocationally (pressing to fulfill God's call while also maintaining full-time employment). She is excited and constantly looks forward to what the Lord has in store for The BlewPrint! “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
