Maria Peterson grew up in the Tacoma area but went to college at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, where they studied Psychology with minors in Education, Statistics and Race & Ethnic Studies. Afterwards, they moved to Chicago, where they served as a Senior Coach with College Possible Chicago, followed by a year as an Access Advisor at Bottom Line. They love reading, being outdoors as much as possible, doing things like hiking and wake surfing, and spending time with their family. As a family, they frequently play games, and things get very competitive. Recently, they decided to move back to Washington to be closer to home and be closer to Washington nature. Now they’re excited to be back at College Possible as a College Access Program Manager and continuing to work towards educational equity with a data driven mindset.
