As a child, Maria showed an interest and proficiency in tinkering and improving things. When her father’s job took her from her home in Mexico to the suburbs of Detroit at 14, Maria joined the robotics team and never looked back. Today in her role as Chief Technical Officer and co-founder at Canvas, Maria has put her PhD. from MIT and a lifelong passion for improving things to good use. Maria joins Hazard Girls Host Emily Soloby for a closer look at her experiences in the fields of robotics and engineering and her passion for improving workers’ lives.
