Maria brings a dynamic blend of marketing, administration, writing, and research experience to her role. Holding a Bachelor’s in International Business and a Master’s in Arts, Policy, and Cultural Entrepreneurship from the University of Groningen, Maria is deeply interested in the intersection of arts, culture, and society. She is passionate about researching and promoting cultural initiatives that support artists and cultural organisations, strengthen communities, and foster social cohesion and cultural access.
