Maria Cruz is graduate from the University of Toronto Mississauga. She is a lover of all dogs and that first bite of pizza.

Given that she's an English major, Maria has always been a big fan of literature. One of her favourite authors, even in her youth, was Edgar Allan Poe. Inspired by this, her brother came back from vacation and he brought the weirdest, yet coolest, thing she owns: an Edgar Allan Poe bobblehead. Growing up, she was quite the food connoisseur, as evidence by her favourite childhood food: KFC chicken fingers (R.I.P.)

Maria wants to help our readers live life to their tastes, because she thinks a lot of people try to live their lives according to what other people are doing or how they think. One of the most important things you can do is be honest with yourself and live according to your own path, not someone else's.
