About

From a young age Maria’s unique upbringing drove her to chase exciting, inspiring and unusual experiences. 

Maria is a fashion, beauty, lifestyle blogger and Instagram influencer based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In the first year of her Public Relations degree, Maria launched a lifestyle Instagram account @aglimpseofmaria, to share her daily life as she combined a love of art, storytelling and digital content creation. With the help of her engaged community, the account grew into an award-nominated platform and propelled Maria, to not only work with her favourite brands but to also live out a professional dream goal to cover the latest from Milan, Paris and New York Fashion Week runways. 

Actively submerging in the pursuit of work that speaks to her on a deeper level, this half-European, half-African blogger shares glimpses of her life authentically and intentionally. Whether she is showcasing unusual beauty rituals, head-turning fashion trends or bucket list-worthy travel destinations, Maria’s desire to uplift people and empower them to chase their own extraordinary experiences takes centre stage. 

Maria also uses her platform to inform, educate, and bring awareness to important causes both in Canada and worldwide.
