Being responsible and patient has helped Maria excel in her work life and on the golf team.

Last summer, Maria was the head coach of 220 kids each week at golf camp. She was in charge of organizing her team of coaches and making lesson plans for each day.

The coaching job was a summer internship and her first ever official job. Maria described the job as scary and difficult, “The language barrier with little kids was hard with choosing the right words to pick.”

Her leadership on the golf team helped her succeed with the internship. This year she is the captain of the golf team. Maria was also in charge of organizing the team workouts and finding a personal trainer for the team.
