Maria has been involved with The Conservative Party since 1998 when she became a student member whilst studying for a BMus (HONS) at The University of Huddersfield. After graduating with a 2:1, Maria went on to complete a PGCE course at Leeds University and taught for a number of years. She returned to The University of Huddersfield in 2010 for a research degree in composition for which she attained a Merit (MRes).
More recently, Maria has established her own company, Mbroderie Ltd which sells cross stitch kits of her own designs.
She has many interests but is focussed and works hard at everything she does. As Chair, Maria would like to move the Association forward by establishing an on-line presence and networking to get the right candidates in place early for local elections.
We will succeed.
