Meet the Speakiters

Maria is a people-focused individual with experience in customer service and HR roles. She values authenticity, communication, and adaptability, and brings a calm but proactive attitude to her work. With a Master’s in Human Resource Management, she’s motivated to keep learning and to make a positive impact wherever she contributes. 

She grew up in a small village in Alentejo, where life moved slowly, and neighbours knew everything about everyone. Even so, from a very young age, she found herself drawn to the rhythm and energy of Lisbon - its noise, its people, its beautiful chaos! Growing up, she had the dream to become a Crime Scene Investigator (yes, like the ones on TV with the sunglasses and dramatic one-liners). But life had other plans, and she ended up studying Business Management instead (probably because she's more down-to-earth than she likes to admit and doesn’t exactly thrive on high-risk decisions).

What stayed consistent, though, is her love for people. She genuinely enjoys connecting with others and creating a positive, welcoming atmosphere within any team. She's the person who notices the quiet details, reads the room at lightning speed, and naturally steps in when someone needs support. Empathy is a huge part of who she is. She picks up easily on how people are feeling (the typical ""read the room""), which helps her build trust, communicate thoughtfully, and adjust her approach to different personalities. It’s her unofficial superpower and probably why people come to her for a pep talk, a reality check, or simply a good laugh.
