Maria is from Barcelona, Solsona and Menorca but has lived in England for the past twenty-three years. In her professional career she thrived at organising events and managing marketing initiatives for companies in the tourist sector. Maria is very sociable and she is possibly one of the most known people in St. Albans. As a keen host she loves cooking and having people around her house. She is involved in the community and volunteers at a local homeless centre. Maria lives with her husband, her two children, a couple of Watford footballers and 2 guinea pigs. And most importantly, her house is always your house. Núria graduated in Social Science and has a PhD in International Cooperation. Whilst she always carries with her social values, her professional career is been focused on the cultural and creative industry. She is a curious mind always ready to learn and enjoys a good conversation (especially if it comes with a glass of wine or green matcha). Núria loves reading, swimming, and is passionate about travelling. Although she sometimes misses the sun and sea of her native Spain she so appreciates and enjoys the green Hertfordshire countryside, the fascinating conservation area of old St Albans and the easy access to the never-ending cultural discoveries and sites of London.
