Maria is an alumna from Rutgers University with a major in communications and a minor in digital marketing. Her favorite food is mac n cheese; and we ain't talkin' Kraft. We mean bubbling skillet mac n cheese that gives your spoon (never forks) a gooey four cheese experience with a crispy top layer of baked cheese goodness. Maria's pet peeve is when people order a salad but are really craving a cheeseburger (treat yo self).
