Ella se encarga de apoyar a sobrevivientes de tortura y trauma de origen refugiado y ademas se desempeña como líder de equipo y coordinadora de desarrollo comunitario.
Una de las razones personales de María para ejercer este trabajo, fue una conexión con su abuelo quien, allá por 1936, al comienzo de la guerra civil española, fue enviado a prisión por ser miembro del sindicato de los ferrocarriles nacionales, una empresa que en aquellos tiempo formaba parte de la República. En ese entonces, no había mucho conocimiento sobre el impacto de la tortura y el trauma.

Ademas de su extensa carrera en el area social y comunitarios, ella también es madre de dos niños y le encanta hacer mosaicos y música.
