After moving cross-country from Wisconsin to Helena, Maria joined the SMA administrative staff in 2021. In her role as an Administrative Assistant, Maria wears many hats. She handles everything from SMA's accounts payable department and invoicing, event planning for company outings, coordinating SMA's continuing education, and has assisted in national guard projects. She is an attention-detailed editor and proofreads many documents that SMA produces as well as aiding in marketing efforts. Maria has also been involved in SMA's many Preliminary Architectural Reports (PARs) and loves to help in the many aspects of business, creating a balance between left and right brain activities. Maria is so fascinated to be surrounded by such talented individuals that form a strong and driven team and am eager to learn so much from them over time. In her free time, Maria enjoys Sunday drives with her two dogs, Max and Lambeau, collects and reads books from Little Free Libraries, has aspirations to become the next Guy Fieri, and supports local breweries and bands.
