Maria, Vietnam
Maria was born in Vietnam before she moved to the United States. She enjoys arts and craft, origami, and playing the bamboo flute. She started helping out at St. Marks in the summer of 2014 after helping a friend find the program. Because of her strong English proficiency, Maria was asked if she wanted to help volunteer. Maria was more than happy to. She loves practicing her English all the while helping other students at St. Marks with theirs. She enjoys seeing the students improve their writing, reading, and speaking, but most importantly seeing them build confidence. She says St. Marks is like a family. Maria is now a member of the SMCEP's staff.
