In the spring of 2024, Maria finished her BA in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic at the University of Copenhagen with a final paper focusing on young men in Amman, Jordan and their characterisation of the ideal husband, analysing gender roles and expectations towards men as husbands in a changing socioeconomic reality.
As an activist, Maria is passionate about empowering children and firmly believes the world would be a bit better if kids were in charge. Through her content creation, she encourages children to become curious citizens of the world while teaching them that they are never too young to create a positive change!
Maria has worked and studied in Denmark and abroad and has been involved with both local and international NGOs. Themes like cultural understanding, human rights, minorities and youth empowerment have been ongoing themes throughout Maria’s work.
