What do you do:

– For work?

By day I’m your Gal Friday – handling basic business administration, social media management, event production, research projects, light bookkeeping… I take care of the daily details so you can focus on the larger picture.

By night I’m Ms. Maura – performing live with bands throughout Southern California and recording vocals for a variety of musical projects in the studio.

… for fun?

Conscious consumer research. I love delving into the interwebs to find the most ethical and sustainable options for our everyday needs.

Upside Down” by Paloma Faith

Why did you pick this song? What does it do for you?

It makes me dance! When this song comes on while I’m walking around my neighborhood, I can’t help but add a little groove to my stride.

And it’s inspiring! I often live in a world of mighty expectations confined by regimented time frames, so I welcome the reminder to be more mindful and flexible in my daily actions.

It feels sometimes this hill’s too steep

For a girl like me to climb

But I must knock those thoughts right down

I’ll do it in my own time

Where can we find you?
