Maria Alviso


Maria Alviso works with LSNA in projects that involve parents and young teens. Her job helps many people, helping them make a difference in life. She loves to see people accomplish their goals and feel great at the same time. The fact that she is a Latina who is making some thing good out of her life is inspiring. One challenging part of her job is building new relationships with different people because they have different personalities. When I asked Maria what is her definition of a hero she replied “a hero is someone who helps people stay committed." If she could change one thing in society it would be racism. In Maria’s spare time she reads or watches a movie. One thing that she wants to accomplish is being a bilingual teacher, that’s what she always wanted to do. A word of advice from Maria is “keep your head up." To me Maria is a hero because she helps people stay committed.
